That's awesome, msbelle!
And don't you ever stand for that sort of thing. Someone ever tries to kill you, you try to kill 'em right back! ... You got the right same as anyone to live and try to kill people.

Yay msbelle! That's awesome!
I tried to nap, since I woke up at what was 2:30am on this coast. It was only sorta successful, not helped by the phone ringing a few times. Sigh.
I didn't really hear much of that sort of thing in conversation that I remember, but being a huge bookworm as a child, I sometimes read older books and encountered words I wasn't sure of. Though I must admit, for most of my life I had no idea "gypped" referred to gypsies! I mean, they weren't a commonplace group where I was growing up, or anything, so it's not like anyone was making the connection directly.

One day I will convince my father not to use a certain phrase about rigging things, but it hasn't happened yet.
I assume not "jury," but rather...Brazil nuts? My dad uses that phrase, too.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I don't even know what a Brazil nut is (no need to explain, I'm not nut-interested).
Okay, I got myself a half hour break before my (hopeful) last call.
Let me not spend it in front of both computers.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
ita,
it isn't what a Brazil Nut is, but what its very very racist nickname is.
