By N-Word, I mean, literally, "N-Word," that sly usage that goes along with "F-Word" when we want to say a word without saying it.
Ain't that a B with an itch
Ain't that a mother trucker
You can go to H-E-double-hockey sticks
And F yourself
'Cause I'm flippin' gosh darn sick of all the S-word you put me through
So F.U.

"Today for show and tell, I brought some flash cards I made. Each card has a letter followed by several dashes. When I show the card, you yell the vulgar, obscene, or blasphemous word they stand for! Ready?" [gets sent back to desk] "She's such a hypocrite about building vocabulary."

I wrote a joke for this awards show that had the word "midget" in it, and someone from the network came down to our offices, and he said to me, "Hey, you can't put the word 'midget' on TV." And I said, "I sure would like to." And he said, "No, 'midget' is as bad as the N-word." First off: no. "No, it's not. Do you know how I know it's not?" I said to him. "It's because we're saying the word 'midget', and we're not even saying what the N-word is." If you're comparing the badness of two words, and you won't even say one of them, that's the worse word.
