You're probably not aware of the derogatory associations with the word "gyp" - so no offense intended and Im definately not a PC policeman -
but maybe just for forum enlightenment that word is considered as offensive to many as to say "But how do I know you will not Jew me and use it for your own uses".
There's some debate regarding the origin of the word - but in my experience it's best to err on the safe side rather than to associate an entire group of people with cheating and/or thievery.
