The word though is “Yid” which is an epithet for Jewish people.

Fun fact, Tottenham Hotspur F.C. supporters call themselves "Yid Army" (due to historic reasons). A fan from another team got yelled at (in a friendly manner), so he responded "Yid Armyyy" in a faux-threatened response.

Yeah, he got arrested. I fucking wish I was kidding.

Dear UK - why are you like this? Please stop it. I don't want authoritarians as neighbours, thanks.
