Almost everyone knows what a piglet is. As a result, almost everyone knows what is meant by the word niglet.
If you look up the word, egret, you will see that it is a white bird. If someone says they saw a negret, what are they talking about?
If you look up the word, egress, you will see that it just means a way out of something. If someone says that there is a negress, what are they talking about?
