sheeny
Having subtle gloss
Sheeny is an offensive slur for a Jewish person.
The term emerged in the 19th century and carries strongly antisemitic connotations.
It is considered deeply insulting and appears primarily in historical texts or as deliberate hate speech.
The word has no acceptable contemporary use outside of academic discussion of slurs and bigotry.
