1. A close approximation of the sound of nigga played in reverse, which is often used to censor a song for radio play without rerecording the song or replacing nigga with another, more acceptable word, e.g. homie, cousin.

2. A euphemism for nigga, which can be used by those outside the black community to refer to their friends of any color, reducing the chance of being offensive with use of polarizing term nigga.

Also pronounced snicka
