  • "You got gypped"
    Always just thought it was the same as being "ripped off" or getting a bad deal. Only in recent years realised that it was in reference to be swindled by a gypsy. I still wondered if the term gypsy was more to do with the lifestyle of the person, like a nomad, and not actually racist but no, gypsies origins are as Romani people. Have since stopped using the term.
    Urban Dictionary has a bet each way as to if it is/was racist gypped/gyp't but best not to use it I think
