Is "gypped" now a slur?

Now as of about 40 years ago.

Well. I learned something new today.
I also was full grown when I first learned that the commonly used negotiating term to "jew him down" was quite racialist as well.

gypped
Used as a term to describe when one has received less than they paid for. Most people do not realize it's a racist term that stems from nomadic 'gypsies' who are stereotyped as theiving criminals.

It's a common expression. Don't think its considered some form of racial slur.

And you would be wrong.

[CajunEXPRESS]

The word has worked its way into a dictionary, but its origin is derogatory towards a Gypsy.

Gypsy is a derogatory name misapplied to the Romani people who didn't originate in Egypt.

I can't point you to a source or a language but I thought Gypsy meant "wanderer" and was predicated on their capitalistic marketing efforts. Ie will travel to make a living.

I seen to recall Gypsy refers to the mistaken belief that they originated in Egypt. Can’t give you a good source, but the Wikipedia article alluding to that.

After reading your reference, I'm not so sure the actual word "Gypsy" is derogatory.

I say that with nothing to go on except that they referred to themselves as the "Gypsy Lore Society."
