I remember in primary school in the 80's all the kids were actually using "nigger". I went along with it, I didn't know what a nigger was.

I was in north Brisbane, Australia.

Down here in Melbourne in the 90's, we used Tigger, as in the character from Winnie the Pooh. It seems like a fair mid-point between the two most common variants of this rhyme.

In New Zealand we used 'piggie'. None of us were aware that this was not the original. Mercifully.
