Niggardly is a legitimate word in the dictionary, check it out.....

Although the etymology of niggardly and niggard remains subject to debate, these words probably have a Scandinavian origin not associated historically with the origin of the offensive word Negro and its related offensive racist slurs. These are derived ultimately from Latin. Niggardly, then, is in no way a racial slur. However, the fact that the word sounds as if it might be one is reason to consider context very carefully before using it.

I have had ignorant people misconstrue things I said, and take offense. I even had someone get huffy because I called her "madam", after she had been rude and I was trying to add some formality to the situation. Of course, she was not only stupid, she was drunk.......
