I'm going to have to start calling my least favorite inanimate objects 'nigger'.

There's a poorly installed cycle gate at my local park that infuriates anyone who tries to get through it on a bike - its two halves have been set into the ground just a few inches too close together for you to get the handlebars of a bike through unlike every other such gate around the park.

Maybe if I write 'The nigger gate' on it in permananent marker pen, other infuriated cyclists will also come to know it as 'the nigger gate', regardless of whether the ink is scrubbed off. Every cyclist will know precisely why it's 'the nigger gate', making the only true way to get rid of 'the nigger gate' will be to fix it or remove it entirely.

What a thought.
