Word

Whether Asian or black, "Word" is most definitely a mainstay of his vocabulary

Word is one of those blissfully ignorant niggerisms that has somehow found its way into the mainstream American vernacular. As you might expect, Word has a black person history deeply rooted in the African American struggle.

This change, still present today, is manifested in many ways, from its basketball prowess to rap music, and, in this case, its vocabulary.
