The term "nigloo" was first used in the 1800's to describe a housing unit for African American slaves in the mild winter of the Slave States. It was a comical plantation criticism of the FOB's that have not been accustomed to a cooler North American climate.

Today, the word can be used to describe any subsidised housing compound, or any type of residentia having to do with cold temperatures and AA's.
1800's:

"Boy Jim, fetch the others from the nigloo, we've got work to do..."

Today:

"Man, that nigloo's gettin full, they better be buildin another."
