Does it bother you when a white assed honkey reffers something in his houshold to be reffered as "negro rigged?"

It doesn't bother me in saying it because us crackas are just too damn lazy to think of these ideas to get something working whereas, it seems some afro engineers are on point to get some shit together..

Of course the real term is "nigger rigged" but it burns down my spine when I hear that word.

:mad:

Time to die whitey!

I'm not a whitey.. My pops is a pure Cherokee

[Ally Al]

i think you should leave your house and go and ask the first afro american what they think of your terminology, you'll prolly get the answer you're looking for then

I always heard it as 'jerry-rigged". I don't think I've ever heard the other term.

Anyone know what jerry refers to?

Jimmy was probably a quite smart black man who knew how to fix things. God Bless him.

I always thought the 'jerry' was a reference to 'jerry's kids'. but i'm probably waaaaaaaaaay off on that.

I've never heard that b4 "nigger rigged" but it bothers me when white people refer to their white homies as "nigger" or "nigga" but most of the times it "wad up my nigger" you see that shit all the damn time on myspace'.Sad times we live in, no sense of history what so ever.

dear lord, i'm not sure but i think there's a few people round here that use the n word that really shouldn't

Maybe a Jim Crow reference. Also there's that song "Jimmy crack corn, and I don't care, cause Master's gone away" or whatever.

I've never heard any of these terms.

[Bob]

i've always heard it as jury-rigged

[marsdaddy]

I thought it was Jerry-rigged and before he was the patriarch of monotone music to the drug-addled masses, Jerry Garcia was a handyman...

I've heard the term used while I was in the army and most of it came from when I was stationed at Fort Polk La.

I just heard the term recently at work and I got to thinkin..

I'm also glad to see that alot of people reply with, "I've never heard of that term before". It's good to see the world is small when it comes to things like this. Still, "Jerry rigged" refers to afro americans though.

I myself hate it when a white guy is all ghetto fabulous unless perhaps that's how they were raised but it's very seldom the case. It just seems like an identity crisis to me and it's just stealing unique characteristics from people who earned it.

40+ years ago a good majority of these racist wanted to be black (at least dance, sing etc.) and now 40 years later they can do it without fear of being lynched too. Things don't change really.

No, I've never left this house or state at that. I've never even talked to or associated with a black person.

That's what every white American claims....lemme guess on your mom's side you're Irish, and Italian right?? :D

[Ace42X]

I was once playing a web based game where you could create your own team, give them a name, equip them, and then pit them against other teams in order to improve them etc. Not unlike a very simple pokémon, but without the monster theme.

One team I saw on there was called "The Nigz" and the names of the team were "Jamal, Tyrone, Leroy" and some other stereotypical names. I didn't know what to make of it.

Meaning

Built in a makeshift and insubstantial manner to make a quick profit on a sale.

Origin

The phrase has been around since at least 1869. More recently jerry builders are more likely to be called cowboy builders or just cowboys. The derivation is unclear although there are many candidate explanations. 1. It is derived from the city of Jericho (which fell down). 2. From the Romany word for excrement - gerry. 3. From jerrymumble - meaning to knock about. 4. From 'Jerry Sneak' - a henpecked husband.
