[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Shaking my head at PPs belief that "gypped" has "evolved" from a negative ethic slur - you know, referencing those thieving gypsies - to something more refined and less slur-like, now meaning...cheap or thieving (you know, like those nasty gypsies). In what way exactly do you think this has evolved? Do you also say "jewed down"? Use "mammy" as a term of endearment for black women? You make yourself sound ignorant. It remains an ethic slur and you sound like a fool each time you say it. [/quote] This really doesn't belong in this forum but... I hope you don't say "paddywagon" or "ghetto" because... you know... racist roots. :roll:[/quote] Or Eskimo, or the "itis", or eenie meenie minie moe. Words evolve, and most people don't even know the origins of the phrase, or how its spelled, so they are not intending to offend through its use. You must get a lot of nose bleeds with your nose stuck up so high in the air. [/quote]
