“Jip” or “gyp” is a shortened form of the word gypsy, a pejorative that many Romani find offensive. Scam or con might be better alternatives.
The title has been updated to “ripoff” per another user’s comment- your instance‘s federated copy may be out of date, or you just happened to fetch the post before the change.
Ah yep, I’m out of date. Apologies.
It happens!
Jip-> gyp -> pejorative for Roma
Use ripoff instead
Thanks for the tip. As much as I’d like to slander entire groups of people for no reason, I’ve made the decision to correct the post title.
You have to put it in the microwave first
Slur against Romani people. Not cool.
