"Jip" or "gyp" is a shortened form of the word gypsy, a pejorative that many Romani find offensive. Scam or con might be better alternatives.

The title has been updated to “ripoff” per another user’s comment- your instance‘s federated copy may be out of date, or you just happened to fetch the post before the change.

Ah yep, I'm out of date. Apologies.

Jip-> gyp -> pejorative for Roma

Use ripoff instead
