That's what I thought... well, gypsies are fair game. :-)

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.
