I was a wigger once too. I lived on a farm during those days, had my bling and straw hat. Straight pimpin'.

On another note, anyone else getting sick of these threads?

I checked my Merriam Webster and this is what came up...

The word you've entered isn't in the dictionary. Click on a spelling suggestion below or try again using the search box to the right.

Suggestions for wiger:

1. wedgier
2. wager
3. wiser
4. winger
5. Wigner
6. widget
7. widgeon
8. wisher
9. witcher
10. wider
11. wigeon
12. whiter
13. wedgies
14. wedgy

So I thought...ok this must be some sort of odd dialect. I popped the word into my Dialectizer and selected Jive talk and to my surprise...nothing? So trying to understand what a Wiger was so I could ask you a smart question drew a blank.
Ive seen many of my friends "lay Wagers"...but I dont think you guys are talking about getting laid....so it must be "Wiggers" or the slang for a white home boy wanting to be black. Im sure part of the problem is because you were once a wigger you forgot to take the "Engrish" class that was supported by the public education system and instead learned Ebonics? I can hardly wait for the next generation of applications to hit my desk....should be great fun!

Maybe a Wiger is like a Liger a la Napoleon Dynamite, but instead of a lion and tiger it is a whale and tiger.

I thought a soft g was the sound found in the word goat, and a hard g was the sound in the word giraffe.



Now, about wiggers... I like my fair share of rap music, but I'm definitely not a wigger. I don't wear the gigantic medallion, the super baggy pants or the upside down visor. The white guys that do, look comical, but I ask you: why does that make them a wigger? If a black guy wears "normal" jeans, and listens to GNR and Metallica, sans bling, does that mean he's trying to be white?

And how come any guy with the slightest tinge of brown in his skin is not a wigger (or racial variation thereof) but the white guy is?

Good questions..... Well - it's all in the attitude. The walk/talk. Ya...I was a wigger. If you just listen to music your just a music lover.

If you drive a truck, listen to GNR, have a cowboy hat and spit a lot... Your a redneck. lol So, a black/ brown or tanned man would have a hint o' red neck...

The wierd thing about the term 'Wigger', is that it was originally applied to Black guys who 'tried' to be too white. Like a black guy wearing nothing but Eddie Bauer or something like that. Oprah did a whole show on "Wiggers" where it was blacks trying to be white.

Maybe we don't have enough black people here, so we don't apply the slang properly? It definitely works on those skinny white try-hards who's pants are always falling down... so I don't mind the use of it

Opera eh? Hmmmmmmmm. Your handle doesn't speak "Opera" to me. Tell me you were just pleasing your hot asian girl friend, and watching Opera with her in exchange for something exciting for you.....

Good post.
It's funny that something such as fashion is seen as race specific.
Of course, they are cultural and originate from certain places, but why that makes them colour specific is beyond me.

Reminds me of a Fresh Prince episode where Carlton didn't get let into a Frat because he wasn't black enough.
Only this is the reverse. White guys who aren't white enough.
