That's okay because the guy who wrote it is a regular moron.

Ok, that's ridiculous stupid - understand the potential for misunderstanding.
But this is like the third time recently (that I've ntoiced) that people publicly have accused someone of racism because they don't know the expression chink in the armor -- which has nothing to do with Chinese people.
At this point, if you are ESPN and use it in conjunction with Jeremy Lin, you're either an idiot or actually a racist thinking you made a nice pun. Either way, stupid.
But I still find myself annoyed at a fairly normal expression becoming off limits because people don't know English.

Who remembers this?
"D.C. Mayor Anthony A. Williams said yesterday that he will rehire a former top aide who resigned last month because some city employees were offended that the aide used the word "niggardly" in describing how he would have to manage a fund's tight budget."
