My dad used to call the cursor on our Apple IIe word processing program "the jigaboo." I had no idea what it meant until years later, and I still don't quite know why he applied a racial slur to a blinking white rectangle.

Maybe he mixed it up with 'thingamajig' and like me, thought it sounded cute.
probably came to the surface while his brain was searching for "thingamajig"
I know my dad, and I am 100% positive he knew what he was saying. I grew up in a house where you could not tell anyone it was 2:30 within earshot of my dad because he would instantly respond "Better go see the Chinese dentist!" every time.

Does Juggalo come from some sort of deformed appropriation of Jigaboo?
wikipedia said:The term originated during a 1994 live performance by Insane Clown Posse. During the song "The Juggla", Violent J addressed the audience as Juggalos, and the positive response resulted in Violent J and Shaggy 2 Dope using the word thereafter to refer to themselves and their friends, family and fans, including other Psychopathic Records artists. The fanbase boomed following the release of their third album, Riddle Box, in 1995, leading Insane Clown Posse to write the songs "What Is A Juggalo?" and "Down With The Clown" for their 1997 album The Great Milenko.
Holy shit, how did that even exist at one point?
The first time I heard the word "jiggaboo" was when I found some casually racist preteen Call of Duty player on Youtube.I don't even know where one would look to find a word like this.

He was actually kind of entertaining until he started dropping racial epithets for no reason.
Isn't Jigaboo name for fans of those "how do magnets work" clowns? Insane clown posse band? Either way bad name, what where they thinking? >_>
