@LucieTheLakie When I made my comment to @jl9961 , I started to mention that she might hear such phrases as “Jew him down” to describe bargaining. This phrase is in the rural Southern vernacular. The history of Jews in much of the South is that they were all merchants, and before that peddlers. They haggled. But the use of the phrase truly isn’t intended as a derogatory term. I’ve heard quite a few people in my home county use my last name in exactly the same fashion for more or less the same reason. I’m not offended in the slightest; kind of honored.
