            An from old Norse hnøgger, which means [miser]ly, [stingy]. Despite its similarity to the offensive term [nigger], the two words are not related in any way. Stop jumping to conclusions and open the dictionary.

              1. To be cheap, have restraint or use with moderation. Has nothing to do with the racial slur, [nigger].
