I didn't learn until an embarrassingly late age that you shouldn't say "jewed them down" or "I got gypped" when discussing prices, etc. Once it dawned on me what I was saying, I felt pretty mortified, but I grew up hearing them as normal words. It was just a thing you say.
Same with me. Didn't even think of where it came from.
