Origin of DARREN
In September 2011, Jacaranda morning show and SuperSport host Darren Scott was revealed to have used a highly offensive racial epithet to refer repeatedly to a co-worker to whom he had lent money, and who had failed to pay him back. Scott subsequently resigned and became a top trending topic on Twitter, not only in South Africa but worldwide. Scott was the latest in a long line of instances of individuals encountering the career-limiting possibilities of using the k-word, but its most high-profile casualty.
