a way for white folks to say the n-word without getting their eye-teeth
slapped in. Comes from Dave Chappelle's skit "The Black
White Supremacist," in which Clayton Biggsby's overdone backwoods
Southern accent turns the short "i" sound to something more along the lines of an "ay" sound. variations include: Nayger, negar, nahger etc.
"I hate neagers!" - Clayton Biggsby, a
fictional KKK member (played by Dave Chappelle) who was born blind and raised by
white supremacists, thus hating
black people without ever realising that he himself is one.
