Summary
DescriptionNiggardly.jpg
English: An early example of a work highlighting the similarity in pronunciation between “niggardly” (meaning stingy) and the racial slur “nigger”. The former word has become taboo in more recent years due to its auditory similarity to the latter. Also serves as a British example of the coon song genre, popular around this time but more commonly associated with the United States.
