citations for sense 2 & 3 exist. Please add to page. All senses. (Vandals removing RFV tag - and I thought this had discussion before?) --Connel MacKenzie T C 21:33, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
I am quite familiar with the first sense (the biting insect) - will look for sources, but they are abundant in Florida. BD2412 T 01:14, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
I too grew up in an area where we used bug spray to keep off the chiggers. Don't know about the other definitions. --EncycloPetey 22:37, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
Seeing as the insect sense is highly verifiable and probably not being disputed, I am swapping out the RFV tag for two rfv-sense tags on the lesser known second and third definitions (2: In US slang, the word Chigger (also pronounced “chigga”) is a derogatory slang term for an Asian person who behaves in ways similar to a stereotypical urban African American.), (3: In AUS slang, a derogatory term for a person living in the suburb of Chigwell near Hobart, Tasmania). - TheDaveRoss 14:41, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
I have checked senses 2 & 3. Both exist in abundance, but I have not cited the page. Andrew massyn 19:00, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
