Is there some way that we could all gather round and shame Quentin Tarantino for writing a line of Pulp Fiction dialogue in which John Travolta‘s “Vincent Vega” says “what a gyp”?
The movie is nearly 30 years old but what does that matter? Tarantino did a bad thing and needs to pay for it. “What a gyp” is derived from the word “gypsy”, and basically means “what a swindle, what a raw deal.” The cruel, racist expression alludes to the Romani people, and carries negative connotations including “defrauded or cheated.”
