Yid

The word Yid (; Yiddish: ייִד) is a Jewish ethnonym of Yiddish origin. It is used as an autonym within the Ashkenazi Jewish community, and also used as slang by European football fans, anti-semites, and others. Its usage may be controversial in modern English language. It is not usually considered offensive when pronounced (rhyming with deed), the way Yiddish speakers say it, though some may deem the word offensive nonetheless. When pronounced (rhyming with did) by non-Jews, it is commonly intended as a pejorative term. It is used as a derogatory epithet by antisemites along with, and as an alternative to, the English word 'Jew'.

In Britain, the word "yid" and its related term "yiddo" are also used to refer to the supporters and players of Tottenham Hotspur, originally in a derogatory manner by rival fans, but now also used as self-designation in a non-pejorative sense by Tottenham fans, according to the Oxford English Dictionary. However, the Football Association, Merriam-Webster, and Cambridge Dictionary all state that the word is "offensive".

Examples of use of Yid

1. He doesn‘t know how to win! – Colchester Yid, Colchester Where did you get the idea that he‘s our captain?

2. The students, aged 15 and 16, are said to have chanted "Yid Army" at David Appleman, a technology teacher at Chauncy School in Ware, Hertfordshire.

3. I suppose we should all thank our favoured deities that the original 101 Dalmatians werent led by Kike, Yid, Greaseball, Guinea and Spic.

4. And believe me, when Jews are talking among themselves, it‘s not at all uncommon for them to refer to "Yid" and "Yidden". Try that in a joke today and you wouldn‘t just be off television, you‘d be banned from the planet!

5. Ironically, it is Tottenham Hotspur, not Chelsea, which is nicknamed the "Yid Army" for its traditional status as London‘s Jewish team, although confusingly, its many Jewish fans are also quite happy to join in the refrain of "Yiddos." Arsenal supporters have also been wont to chant, "I‘ve never felt more like gassing Jews when Arsenal win and Tottenham lose," or the other perennial favorite, "Spurs are on their way to Auschwitz." Then again, Arsenal probably has as many Jewish supporters as Tottenham these days, not to mention a Jewish managing director.
