An excellent way to greet your friend. Works good as a substitute for what up dog or hows it goin'.

That nigga is simply put THAT nigga. You can't really define it with words, but when that nigga's in town you'll know.

Term used amongst African Americans to denote companionship, sort of like mate is used by Brits or cunt by Australians.

The spelling/pronunciation of nigga is intended to be different from the word nigger, which is generally considered to be supremely racist. Presumably the difference arises as a result of the non-rhoticity of African American Vernacular English (AAVE). This is somewhat ironic when one considers that the (white) southern dialect was nearly universally non-rhotic in the time when slavery was still legal, and that non-rhoticity is still present in the speech of many upper class, "old money" southerners, especially amongst the older generations (i.e. descendants of plantation owners).

Something I would get my ass kicked for saying.

Usually wrongly mistaken by a LOT of a people, the term "nigga" does not refer to black people.

The term is often used in the African-American community to refer to their close friends, inanimate objects, or anything really (except elder family members, out of respect). The term was originally coined to take away the negative connotation behind the word "nigger", which was constantly used to dehumanize African-Americans during times of slavery and strong prejudice.

Unfortunately, people of other races immediately think of "black people" and the negative stereotypes associated with them when they hear the term "nigga" which causes much dismay among the African-American community.

A word that is hindering African Americans from being seen as equals.

An ignorant self disrespectful word that does more damage than good in the 21st century.

The phrase "Nigga no " defines to basically gtfo ,leave,quit your shit or it explains that someone said something dumb af also is the opposite nigga yes.
