I prefer nicknaming him "The Nigglenator."
STFU, cracker. God damn Whities.

Good news all around!The next two games are winnable without Timmy and Manu. The Brooklyn game is where it may get a little tougher because of the bigs they have with Lopez and Evans. The next night as well against the Bulls with Noah, Boozer, and Gibson. I wouldn't rush Timmy back but if the coaching staff and trainers think he'll be good to go by then it's fine with me...
. Why hasn't his finger healed yet? Surely a break doesn't take this long.
I can see Pop now-during a heated timeout- "I want some niggle!"
"Niggle" is like a "Stinger" do you blokes say that?
Yes, "stinger" is the term generally used here.
A good post, this.
When Tim went down, a nervous moment, that.
This and that.
Did you see Bale's goal against the Baggies?
A stinger in the US is very serious is it not? Related to spine injuries?
A niggle is like having stiff joints. It's irritating, you aren't 100% but no reason not to play
A beauty.
Did you catch the spit?
As far as I know, a "stinger" is usually caused by a pinched nerve.
I've never had one, but a friend of mine was describing it just yesterday. He had one when he used to play football, and described it as "someone dragging a knife down your spine". It sounds incredible painful and temporarily debilitating....but it wears off eventually, and usually doesn't equate to anything too serious.
Stinger is usually when you get hit, a nerve compresses, and it burns or stings like . Sometimes it gets very numb. Totally uncomfortable.
It can be serious, but usually is not.
whoops, I'm late...
Can we get some ST folklore/info here?
Do Bruno and Parker hang out at the same hookah shop?
Both wait outside while their girlfriends shop at the same Victorias Secret?
Same coffee shop?
Both have their cars fixed at Tims?
Eat at the same health food deli?
Kids go to the same pre school?
Play black jack at the same Euro casino?
In my experience, Americans are really ignorant of any other dialect of English.
Looking at that video.......the dude got racked in the balls,and needed time to walk it off. He's okay.
So it means the same thing in the states...cept here its a noun.
Weird that it isn't used in the US. Is it used in the UK/Europe?
How much have you traveled internationally? Foreigners might have a bit of a jump on some of us because they watch our movies and tv shows, but still the only way to be familiar with a dialect is if you get to experience it first hand, and the kind of ignorance you describe is found all over the world. Because it's natural to be 'ignorant' of something you've never been exposed to.
It's actually more 'ignorant' to expect people removed hundreds or thousands of miles from where you live to be familiar with everything you're familiar with, because well you know it, so doesn't everybody?
I haven't traveled much but I still try to learn as much about other cultures as possible. Most Americans that I've met, especially those removed from coastlines, care little to nothing and know little to nothing about other countries/continents.
The internet exists. Therefore, the only reason for not being exposed to something is not seeking that knowledge.Because it's natural to be 'ignorant' of something you've never been exposed to.
And stating that in my experience Americans do not know about other cultures is not passing judgment, it is merely sharing anecdotal information that I've personally found to be true. It wasn't meant as a put down.
"Niggle?" I knew that white boah was a racist !
That is good, I figured Timmy would sit for a like 2 weeks.
@CH It's cool man. It's just a universal rule of thumb that people's ignorance of a thing increases by the distance they're removed from it. In my experience Americans are not unique in this regard. (Even though for a while we've been the punchline of the world's running dumb joke)
My question is, is a nagging injury a niggle that refuses to go away? I like the idea that "niggle" is present tense, while "nagging" (in this context) is present perfect tense. Though most likely they do not share a common etymology.
