Claimed that the word 'gyp' is a derivative from the word 'Jew.
Anyway, we were kids, didn't stop using the word.

When I was a kid, my Mom lectured me one time after I used
the
phrase, ''that's a gyp. She explained that a good friend of
ours
was Jewish and she felt that was derogatory to Jews.
I think some people are just too sensitive.
