yep.

and being from a country area i used to say j#w them down to describe negotiating prices. we didnt have any jews around to offend and it was just a term to us.

then one day i was someplace else and used the term to a stranger who happened to be jewish. he took note of it and i said "its just a term, no offense." he appeared to accept my explanation.

somehow i just have never used that term since.

so you decide.
