    Goy and goyim are also just actually words that are fairly commonly used by many English speaking Jews.

    Fair amount of other Yiddish and Hebrew words other than goy/goyim are used this way as well.

    Its like… an additional vernacular.

    Chutzpah, means basically … shameless audacity, or … arrogant presumption of privilege, something like that.

    Oi Vey! … basically ‘Woe is me!’, but also kind of more like ‘Oh shit/fuck/no’… sort of.

    … I’m not saying you can’t use these words and phrases as like, part of a cariacature, but they are also just words and phrases you’d have probably picked up, growing up in a Jewish family, or around them.

    Similar to how you’d have an additional vernacular set if you were from some other cultural/ethic/religious background…

    … not exactly the same, but Evangelical Christians for example have a weird tendency to pluralize ‘evidence’ into ‘evidences’, use ‘discernment’ in common speech waaay more often than others do, etc.
