The actual last time I used that word was when I was interacting with a retired pro-wrestler, and he used the word in a very weird, convoluted sentence, and I quoted him verbatim to my (now) wife. Never met Mr. Jackson, I just saw an interview where he told the interviewer to say it and the guy wouldn't. It was then that I decided that, if Samuel L Jackson ever ordered me to say the n word, I would do it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cOlNHXQCT_4&t=9 permalink fedilink source parent
