Depends. Does my cat really have something worth hearing to say? Tips on the market maybe?

What a great way to jip people out of their money, honey!
Subject: Re: How Did We Ever Live Without This?
Yes, it is a bit of a gyp. But i'm sure you can Jew them down to $50, honest Injun.

I'm not Jewish, but I find the term "jew them down" offensive. Just as would find "spic them down" or "Mik them down" or "dago them down" etc. Hope HairSpray sees this and edits it. NOT ACCEPTABLE. "bargain" them down would be much more appropriate.

I was just pointing out where 'gyp' came from. Sorry. Maybe i should have tried to make the point more clearly by using an alternative spelling as zippo did...'jue them down' or something

"Gyp" is short for gypsy, no? Your very dry humor could get you into trouble ;)
Subject: Re: How Did We Ever Live Without This?
Yes, it comes from the idea that gypsies would try to sell you low-quality items for more than they are worth, or 'gyp you'.

My last canine friend, Hoover (yes, after the vacuum cleaner, he would eat ANYTHING - Hide the kitty litter - disgusting) told me it was short for "I am a wolf, or wanna be" ;) ;D
