I propose that Congress appropriate 500 gazillion billion dollars to form an agency to eliminate all words that sorta sound like someone should be offended by them.  Please add to the list.

Niggardly
Homo Sapien
Gun

"Homo Sapien"? Don't go near "Homo Erectus"... or "Pianist".

How about asking the mods.  They have a list the size of an unabridged dictionary of offensive words.

I'll add "white" and "male" to your list.

nip
jigger
faggot
fag
spook
kraut
penal
blowhard

...and two words that, when spoken separately, are inoffensive, but can be combined to offend and therefore must be banned....

Clean floors should not be called "spic & span" as some Puerto Ricans may be ofended.

Decks of cards may not contain spades, as blacks may be offended.

The shameful thing is that most people don't even know what this word means.  A county  or state rep in FL used this word.  Someone was offended and notified the NAACP.  Even the they knew the meaning and did not get all over this guy, others still demanded that he apologize.  The worst of it is is that he did apologize, when he didn't have to.
What a world we live in when illiterate people have so much power.
