I learned a new word today, but I don't think I'll be able to use it, almost ANYWHERE!
It's not considered a curse word.
The Miriam Webster definition of this word is someone who is stingy, not wanting to share or give anything away, a marked lack of generosity.
Phonetically, it sounds like a racial slur that is COMPLETELY unacceptable in todays society.
The term first arose in the middle ages, but I had never heard the word before today.
I am no linguist, but I do enjoy learning new words.
I just wish I could use them without fear of violent attack from someone who does not know the meaning of the word.
I don't think I dare print it here.
I enjoy posting on Ingo, and would like to continue.
If anyone is interested, I can reveal this mystery in a pm, but I will not post it on the open forum.
