"Gyp joint" nghĩa là gì?


"Gyp joint" có Gyp là viết tắt của Gypsy, từng dùng để chỉ người Romani, khét tiếng vì những định kiến xưa cho rằng họ không đáng tin cậy -> từ này nghĩa là các cơ sở kinh doanh tính phí quá cao cho sản phẩm chất lượng kém. 

Ví dụ
Too bad. Another overpriced gyp joint for people with too much money closed. Don’t worry, there will be Civil War soon, the dollar will collapse (sụp đổ) and the drugged up hordes (đám) will come and loot the place of anything not screwed down.

I just didn’t want to spend any money on this garbage in this gyp joint. But Mitch was upset because he’d been embarrassed in front of the musicians’ girlfriends, so he went into a dramatic monologue (độc bạch).

They taken the old cowboy to the county hospital for stitches. When he passed by, being about half helt-up, I seen his face had been laid open like a busted watermelon. I guess maybe Red’s ring that he got in a meskin gyp-joint in that spick town acrost from Del Rio done it.
