Yids
The word Yid (; yi, ייִד) is a Jewish ethnonym of Yiddish origin. It is used as an Exonym and endonym, 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.
