What is it? Jip? I've never heard that as a slur.

It's supposed to be spelled Gyp. As in Gypsy. It's a racial slur because it's a prejudice that Gypsies are cheap and will scam you.
Being ripped off = being gyped = racial slur.
Since he spelled it wrong, he probably had no idea what it means and thus meant nothing bad by it...
Just an FYI

AIW is correct... You have just offended the Gypsy faction of ATOT.

check out dansdata.com review of the z560's, the wattage listed is pretty bogus, esp since the drivers are rated far lower. marketing numbers games.

Good point. Logitech is probably just "lying less" with the 5300's.

Well i got my sub working for the most part now but it makes a rattle sound at high volumes. How hard do you think it would be to make my own controll pod? I have really good sodering skills but i don't know to much other than that.

 

[BigPappaBuck]

Just took the controller apart man there is alot of stuff in there.

Yeah, a friend of mine told me that. I paused, and realized that I still didn't care. There were no Gypsies around and I didn't mean it as a slur.

no kidding. I already said I believed that. It was an FYI (as I've already said)
Oh, and the poster below you can take his "

My wife used to babysit for real gypsies. They'd rent a house, live there for a few months, then load up and move on to another location. Really cool people.

And they don't care about people using the term "Gyp". The one lady I talked to said that they like how it keeps the "gypsy culture" in the mainstream.

People getting upset is just another case of someone wanting everybody to be "PC" and taking offense for a group of people who really don't care.

Good to know that one family represents all gypsies everywhere...
And now you're making it into something it didn't have to be.
