Nigga

Nigga is a term derived from the racial slur "nigger". It is generally used by African-Americans (especially young adults and teenagers), because other ethnic groups using it is considered offensive by most.[1] The common use for this word is for a good friend, it can also be defined as a substitute for "nigger" in a less serious tone.

This article is about the colloquial slang. For the racial slur, see Nigger.
