"I got jipped" or however it's spelled. We say it all the time in America, but a euro transplant informed me that it's basically a slur for gypsies.
When I grew up I never thought anything about where the term jipped ( maybe it's spelled gypped? ) came from, but after hearing jew used as a verb in the same context got me thinking about where the term came from. Not all epiphanies feel good.
Always pay close attention to the epiphanies that don't feel good
I thought it was a reclamation of the phrase, kind of like "Jerry rigged"
