We were a mixed group: male, female, black, white, etc. While we were standing there, this white female LT from another unit walks up and starts lashing out at this black male LT from our group about some work he was supposed to have done and some agreement they had. Not satisfied with his responses, she declared "You reneger!!!" and stormed off.

You could have heard a pin drop.

We all just sort of stood there thinking the same thing: "Wait! What? Did she just call him a.... No! Couldn't be! But she said... Am I supposed to get mad over this? Is that even a word?!?!?!"

Eventually after a minute or so of silence, The black LT turned to us and said, "Well, how about Wendy's?"

Of course, the funny part of the whole story was the silence.

Renege and Niggardly are two words to tread lightly around haha, especially when you're using them towards a black person.
