The words "niggle," "niggling," "niggly," etc. actually did make it on this side of the pond, it's just that some people are too precious about it. A well known pundit wrote an article in the Economist a few years ago using the word "niggardly" -- part of the same root -- and people jumped on him for racism. It's silly, because it has nothing to do with the well known racial slur. Wikipedia has a page about all this if you're interested - [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Controversies_about_the_word_%22niggardly%22"]Controversies about the word "niggardly" - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia[/ame]
.... anyway sorry if I contributed to the derailment of this topic ....
Just like Karlos said, get over it. I understand it was just literally lost in translation. We are all over it.
Ohh, jus saw your little thing at the bottom about contributing to it. It's fine, lets just stop discussing it.
niggardly and its true meaning have just become my IRL troll bait for the week. oh man. i had to stop myself from saying something stupid online about that.
thanks for educating though!
Hope you found what you were looking for bun. lol

Lol @ the nit picking over UK phrases.
Speaking of UK slang, i've been working words like wonky, bollocks, and pants (which happens to be a nickname of mine) into my vocabulary. And i rather like it.
I like "tits up" myself. "Niggling issues" has been in my vocab for quite some time as well niggardly. What's on the PC chopping block for next week? Being "tardy" or insensitive threads about boobies?
Latency is easily adjusted by opening preferences>audio. Failure to set it as low as possible could result in niggling issues with tardy drops making the dance floor go tits up. I like boobs.
