This all the photos produced by professional studios that are in my wallet have been gypped They are probably including the white trim, which I don't, because I cut it off if they come in sheets.

I have a photo album for wallet pictures that doesn't fit the ones sold at the local photo place where most of my friends get our senior pictures. So they don't fit in it.

I am using the 2.125" x 3.125" dimensions. Thank you. Y'all are so wonderful. I'm making an Important Numbers card for work, and it needs to be "wallet-sized."

Yes, Gypsies still exist. Gypsy is an ethnic group. They are apparently descended from people from northern India and what is now Pakistan (according to linguistic experts.) Many are "acclimated" into the societies they live in, but in some places (especially Europe) there are still groups of migrant Gypsies. (In many countries, though, the population has never recovered from "extermination" carried out in Nazi concentration camps.)

My school photographers have two wallet sizes (and of course today is picture day so I no longer have access to actual dimensions). If memory serves, regular wallets ("trading wallets") are about 1.75x2.5 inches, and "jumbo wallets" are closer to business card size.

The big difference, of course, is that no one knows that gyp has anything to do with gypsies until someone says, "You shouldn't use that. It's a racial slur against gypsies." If no one is using it to disparage gypsies, then is it really a slur?
On a similar note, you shouldn't use the word dork. It's a slang term for the male organ.

Of course, no one uses it to mean that anymore, so I think it's safe to say that it doesn't mean that anymore.

But now its meaning is much closer to the Nerd/Geek/Dork thread's definition, so why insist on its etymology?

I'm not. I'm just saying that word origin is pretty much meaningless compared to actual contemporary usage.
