gyp
Slang for cheat
Gyp means to cheat or swindle someone, usually out of money or fair treatment: They gypped me on the warranty.
As a noun, a gyp is a fraud or the act of cheating: What a gyp!
The word derives from Gypsy, reflecting old stereotypes about Roma people, and is considered offensive by some for this reason.
