The term N-Word.

Meaning: another term for a well-known slur.

Origin: I think former prosecutor, Christopner Darden, coined the term N-word. The first time I heard it was during the OJ trial when Darden said “N-Word” and refused to use the slur when questioning Office Mark Fuhrman on Furhman’s usage of the slur.
