      I gotta imagine the GYP thing was unintentional, right? Named by people who were completely unaware of what is, to be fair, a fairly rare slur?

      I knew it was a slur in the US at age 7? I figured it out from context when it showed up in an old movie, no one even had to tell me? I dunno

      I don't think I ever registered its existence until I saw someone literally explaining it on Tumblr. And I've yet to hear it actually used in either media or real life

      This probably differs a lot by country, I used to hear it all the time as a kid in the US

      Huh. That's weird, isn't it? I didn't think the US even had a significant Roma presence

      I think it's because they're a much smaller population in the US that there's less awareness of it as an ethnic slur A lot of Americans will actively defend the idea that it's become just a generic word for a "rootless person"

      So it's just used in the same context as "gypsy" but with two fewer letters?

      Oh no "Gypsy" is the noun, "gyp" is a verb meaning "to cheat, swindle, shortchange or take unfair advantage of"

      Replying to @arthur_affect @dulcedejae and

      Both words are slurs but the latter especially so for obvious reasons And as a kid in the US in the 90s my friends and I used "gyp" ALL THE Time, unfortunately I didn't even make the connection between the two words until I was older

      Yeah that's how I had been told it was used but I'm so surprised that it's so widespread in the US and yet I never hear it in American media

      They don't use it now because it's a slur There was a whole awareness campaign when I was a teenager to get people to stop saying it, same as the backlash against saying "gay" to mean "bad" (or "awkward"/"inauthentic") in the 2000s

          Yeah, I found out about it from the original Parent Trap from the 60s/70s
