niggerdom

Needs cites, and needs to not use racial slurs in the definition. - TheDaveRoss 13:13, 26 May 2022 (UTC)

See comment in next entry regarding niggerhood. Following existing precedent. Leasnam (talk) 15:39, 4 June 2022 (UTC)

I propose the following rule: if an English-language suffix exists, then someone has combined it with the N-word. 70.172.194.25 16:05, 4 June 2022 (UTC)

I think using the slur in the definition is probably reasonable when it's just "X-dom" like this. It would certainly not be appropriate in the definition of any other (etymologically unrelated) word. But if we are magically "not allowed" to say n-word in the definition of a word with n-word in it, we will just tediously have to repeat all the senses from n-word, I suppose.

I agree 100% Leasnam (talk) 17:35, 4 June 2022 (UTC)

I agree with Equinox and I actually thought this was common practice anyway; see also assholedom, faggotry. — Fytcha〈 T | L | C 〉 17:44, 4 June 2022 (UTC)
