Damn...that dude is fired. Gotta be a Freudian slip, right? That's why you don't use that word...ever. Respect people.

Not sure how anybody gets a smirk or faux apology from that. Dude just had a brain fart and looked embarrassed. We've all had something slip out like that inexplicably. Not necessarily that particular word, but something pretty stupid or embarrassing.

He definitely didn't mean to say it in that moment, but if I had to guess it was a Freudian slip. He obviously felt bad about it afterwards, but I don't think that word comes out unless he's used it or thought of it on a somewhat regular basis. The word really should just be erased from every vocabulary. There's nothing good there.

Agreed. Only way the N word comes out while trying to say neighbor is if you routinely use that word. I don’t doubt that the guy genuinely felt bad but I don’t feel bad for him in the slightest.

I disagree with the idea that the only way you say that is if you use the word regularly. Not to defend nor condemn this guy, just that it's my experience that if you're told, "Don't think about pink elephants," all you can then think about is pink elephants. The word has been discussed so much in recent years and we've all had it drilled into us that it's OK for these people to say it in this situation and not OK for these other people to ever say it and sometimes OK for some people to say it in some situations and on and on and on until we've made such an issue of it that those who rarely if ever would've thought of using it can't help but be constantly aware of the word being AN ISSUE and thinking about it. Now it's the pink elephant of vocabulary and you get a situation where somebody who would never intentionally use the word has it accidentally slip out because he's constantly THINKING about not ever using the word. Not saying that's what happened here, but I think this is a lot more common that someone letting it slip out because they DO regularly use the word in other situations.

Yeah, maybe the pink elephant theory could hold weight. Either way, he's definitely thinking about it too much and he ended up blurting it out.

A funny and all too true story about "pink elephants." In my teens, my best friend and I traveled a couple of towns over one Sunday evening to attend church services where our very popular former minister had recently moved. My friend had a habit of referring to small towns as "The big city of (insert town name)." Once or twice he'd come very close to having a Freudian slip and saying titty instead of city. Apparently, he was thinking about that and trying to be careful. After the service he and I were talking to the minister's wife and teen daughter. My buddy said, "Well, we better go. We've gotta get back to the big titty of... um, uh city... uh, we gotta go." He turned beet red, the minister's wife pretended to have not heard him, and the daughter and I both about died trying not to laugh out loud.

Need a ruling here, Bish. Like mother, like daughter? Was there visual influence for the slip or not?

Kids in HS harass others to try to get them to say it. Having words one group can say and another can't is the most race baiting bullshit on the planet. Its a fucking word but somehow utterance by the wrong colored person merits a violent response. Cut it and all variants out of your shitty music or STFU homies.
