ELI5: What exactly does the word 'kike' explicitly mean and, as a Jew, why should I be offended?
gpt
"Kike" is short for the Yiddish word for circle.  Illiterate Jewish immigrants used to sign with a circle instead of an X.  Like most of the words bigots like to use for others, few actually know the meaning, they just use them to be hurtful.
