I can't believe you called GW niggardly.

Oh man, Wonder Showzen. That show was too much for me, man. Hilarious, but painfully so.

Yeah. Checks have become irrelevant with online banking anyway.
We're supposed to get need-based aid info next week right?

Context I guess. I didn't get the feeling that you were trying to make a pun (which would be a little inappropriate), but people do abuse the word because of how it sounds. If we were discussing specific people whom we knew were African American, it would be dubious and probably offensive, but niggard is a valid word with no etymological relationship whatsoever to the slur it sounds like.
