Nigga

A word used and invented by African Americans to abolish the negative word 'nigga' typically used in a derogatory fashion to stereotype blacks, and turn it into a positive word 'nigga'. It's meaning: homeboy, friend, buddy, pal, bro.

Although the word 'nigga' is used mostly by the younger hip-hop generation (including white boys) it is also found offensive and not accepted by the older generation of African Americans.

Hey, what-up my nigga? Good to see you.

Ricky, don't let me hear you using the word, 'nigga' again! It sounds too much like, 'nigger'!

These boys right here, these are my nigga's. We go way back.
