My mom told me I was left on the doorstep by Gypsies...

Also, the expression "getting Gypped" to reflect getting swindled. Since I've been in the Navy, I've also heard "getting Jewed." I'm not Jewish, but I grew up in a community that is about 85% Jewish and needless to say, this expression didn't exist there. It was kind of a shock to hear it for the first time. But "Gypped" seems acceptable to everyone else...
