This is a story from NPR's Day to Day. It is about an effort to ban the N word in New York City. During the course of the report the n word, the s word (toward Hispanics) and the c word and g word (toward Asians) are all refered to by the term I just typed. Conversely the f word is first called that, then the reporter claims he mistook it for fuck, and then used faggot.

I find this truely amazing that a) the reporter supposedly didn't know which f word and b) that faggot alone was considered worth saying on the radio.
