Gyp is another one. I was gypped. Not nice for Gypsies. Jerry-rigged. Not nice for germans. Indian-giver… Welsh rabbit…no rabbit in it/politically correct is “rare”-bit. Oddly “fairy” (farie) was the polite expression for the gay, but was used too often.”Negro” used to be polite and “black” the more vulgar.
Language fascinates me.

I can honestly say, that I never met a gypsy. I don’t think. Although I have this fantasy that maybe I have gypsy blood. My dad got his mom’s family back to Hungary in 1776.

I’ve been somewhat surprised during my life how much “Jew ya down” is acceptable speech.
