[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If I hear someone say "off the reservation," jew 'em down," or anything similar, at least I know never to be friends with that person & to avoid them if at all possible. [/quote] Don't be so quick to judge. I'd bet that unless someone, particularly under 50, has seen some of these words/phrases in print like "Jew 'em" , they wouldn't even know they were using caustic language. Even spelled out "gyped" or "gipped" might not make the connection with gypsies, especially since now kids might only know the group as Romany, or in some cases Travellers.[/quote] +1 I’m Jewish and now live in a small city in the midwest. My boss is as liberal as they come, but grew up in a very small town about an hour outside of our city and never once considered?the origin of “Jew them down” until she met me. We all learn from each other. [/quote]
