I also forgot that Maynard, the redneck at the pawn shop, also uses the word when referring to Marcellus Wallace. That was an instance in which it was used in a hateful manner, but considering the source it was still authentic. I suppose the reason I forgot that one was because of what occurs later on in that scene. I apologize for turning a Twain forum into a Tarantino forum. I'll stop now. Just wanted to admit another mistake. I still stand by my original premise, despite the mistakes I made in my original argument. Jim
