here's my Monday Monday ST Poll ... the word "jipped" (meaning to be robbed or cheated of something) ... do you find it to be an offensive word? ...

apparently some people find it to be a racial slur against gypsies, because sometimes the word is spelled "gyped", and thus the possible reference to gypsies ....

I've never really thought it to be an offensive or otherwise racial slur item ... though I can understand the possible slight against the Gypsy image ...
