(offensive, ethnic slur, vulgar, see nigger#Usage notes, usage notes) A black person; a person of black African descent.
Nigger means: A black person; a person of black African descent.. It is generally derogatory or offensive; worth a quiet word about how it lands on the person being described. If your teen uses it, context will usually make the intent clear. A short, curious question about where they heard it is usually all that is needed to know whether to follow up.
nigger means: A black person; a person of black African descent.. Register: very informal, often derogatory or vulgar. Avoid in formal, business, academic, or polite writing. Even in casual speech the word can offend and is best left out of a learner's active vocabulary. Common learner mistake is using the word in a register it does not fit, or assuming a single global meaning; always check the context before producing it yourself.

“The proxy barely disguises the racial insult, ‘nigger’, which has topped lists of ugly and hateful words since it was first uttered in the 17th century.”
