[Idiom] Curse words

[thirdrock]

I watched Wanda Sykes show on PodCast.
A part in the shows is about respecting the president.
I quote some parts;
My publisher comes to me and says "they want me to you this note"
they say "don't use NO-F words or IN words.

I do know what the F words and 4 character words.
but no idea what is 'IN' words.

The 'IN' might be wrong. The sound was like 'IN'.

Help me out.

I hope not.

I expect it was the "N-word." This word is actually more offensive to me than the "F-word." You can look up the phrase "the n-word" to find out exactly what that word it, but perhaps it will be enough to know it's a HIGHLY offensive word for a person of African descent.

The 'n' word is 'nigger' which in American usage applies to individuals of African descent. Generally stating 'the n word' is sufficient to make the reference and therfore to generate the laughter in a comedy setting.

I don't find it very funny.

It's not a laughing matter.

Preceptor, we prefer that offensive words are NOT written here. Use * or ?? or whatever you need to so people who are offended by these words don't have to see them.

Had you replied to any post other than mine, I would have deleted it.

Please do NOT type offensive words directly into the thread in the future.

Thanks for your answers!

I was able to find by typing 'N-word' in Google and see what it means.
