The things on this list...

A few years ago my mom was at work. One of her coworkers, an African American woman, said she'd do a task for my mom. Awhile later, the woman came back, apologized, and said she wouldn't be able to get to it that day. A different coworker, nearby, jokingly said, "Don't say that, otherwise you'll be a reneger!"

Everybody stood still, silent, stunned, unsure of what to say. Thankfully the black lady started to laugh, which sort of broke the tension.

I'm normally not one to be a grammar nazi, but in this case, I think it's warranted: it's "reneger".
