“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The title has been updated to “ripoff” per another user’s comment- your instance‘s federated copy may be out of date, or you just happened to fetch the post before the change.
Ah yep, I’m out of date.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
