The "k" word is a word I'm familiar with so perhaps it's a Commonwealth 'thing' as it's origins seem to South African.

I thought it was a well known word. There was a famous, very inspirational, book about apartheid I had to read in middle school (that I'd highly recommend) called Kaffir Boy by Mark Mathabane. It's tennis-related, too. Arthur Ashe and Stan Smith are two of the book's and the author's heroes.

I hope no one's offended I didn't bleep out the word...
