"I encounter a lot of people who tell me that they never knew the word 'gypped' had anything to do with gypsies, or that it's offensive — especially when the word is heard not read," says University of Texas at Austin professor Ian Hancock, who was born in Britain to Romani parents. "My response to them is, That's okay. You didn't know but now you do. So stop using it. It may mean nothing to you, but when we hear it, it still hurts."
I had no idea...
And also it appears i didnt know how to spell it either.

It’s okay, the best thing we can do is inform others so that we don’t unknowingly hurt others. Now you know. 💜
The cool thing is you can just say "what a rip" or "what a ripoff" instead and it won't have any negative effects
But if it’s a cat driving a tractor no price is too high
