Something about that word irks me and I'm not sure why.

To close to nibble?

Sounds too close to a racial slur?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

No, it's just got an irritating sound. Also it makes me think about Niblets (the frozen corn kernels). But that's not enough to explain how annoying I find that word. Maybe I'm just weird ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Makes me think of nibbling on snacks.
