Of course, most people aren't aware, but generally those who learn about this would simply keep it in mind and use different words.Last edited by fm93; 07-13-2014, 11:40 PM.Learn to do right; seek justice.

The real difficulty comes from the fact that the bad behavior of the people who resemble the words will also end up draining the substitute words of any positive connotations (exhibit A: gay.)
Sufficiently advanced political correctness is indistinguishable from sarcasm, but I tend to discourage it anyway, as it's more often used as a vehicle to lie to children about dangerous people (don't actually let your kids or any vulnerable people around gypsies, please.)

Originally posted by Cow Poke View PostThat was a term I grew up with. It was not unusual to say "He Jewed me down to $40" or something like that. I actually said that in front of my Jewish executive admin, and she was horrified --- I honestly never thought about it as being related to "Jews"... it was just an expression. But I have never used it since.

We should round up everyone who takes this seriously and haul them off in a paddy wagon.

It is NOT ok to use such terms. The ADL and SPLC need to be called in and educate the Obamas on their privilege.
As a side note, I like how the article lists a number of alternatives to gypped for no discernible reason:
“Defenders of Romani point out that the abbreviation, ‘gyp,’ is nothing more than a callous slur used by the culturally insensitive. Similar slurs to ‘gypped’ include ‘Jewed down’ or calling someone an ‘Indian giver’."
I must say I've never heard of "Jewed down" before, usually it's just "Jewed."Atheism is the cult of death, the death of hope. The universe is doomed, you are doomed, the only thing that remains is to await your execution...
