e: sorry. just got flashback that I've seen the word before. I first niggardly thought that the word was referring to racial expression but it wasn't.

I'm sorry, but isn't using a racial slur on a forum relating to a series of internet tablets made by Nokia as a way to sound cool even more ridiculous?

Niggard and Niggardly actually have nothing at all to do with racial slurs or anything of the sort.
