(verb) To use selfish or unfair tactics, most notably when utilized by a merchandiser on his/her customer. (pinty, adjective) Used to describe a person or organization's selfish, unfair, or profit-motivated actions. Origin: Likley coined by a Jew who was tired of hearing words of antisemitic origin being used by non-antisemitic people, such as the verb form of "jew" (Ex. I tried out that new restaurant on 34th street, but their prices suck. I got jewed.) Possibly also coined by a Gypsy who felt a new word needed to replace the term "gyp" (Ex. I made a huge profit from that deal, I really gyped my purchaser).
