An objectionable word

[alexxkay]

I read the Boston Metro today, which I don't often do. Today's issue contained a word which I found sufficiently offensive that I wrote a letter to the editor complaining about it. Care to guess what that word was? (I'll post the full letter later today.)

ETA: Seems like this only appeared in the print edition. Will wait until late tonight to post the answer, so people can look on the way home if they want.

I can conceive of some contexts in which it might have been 'black', but that's not it this time.

I don't see the bit that annoyed me in the on-line version. Hm. Maybe I won't post the answer until tonight, to give folks time to check the paper copy on the way home.
