Meaning

noun

The practice of spelling out the word nigger by multiple individuals in a sequence of posts.

Etymology

May either be a direct compound of N (the initial letter of nigger, or an ellipsis of n-word) + tower, or a blend of n-word + tower. Alternatively still, possibly a syncope of N-word tower. Unlike n-word, this term may resist being spelled with a lowercase N to a greater degree, since the format of such towers often explicitly features image macros of capital Ns.

Inflected Forms

N-towers (plural) N tower (alternative)

Synonyms

N-word tower
