First, I'm only really bringing this up because I used that same term for much of my early life without knowing it's origins, so I think it's worth discussing because of the way it's unconsciously used by many, and not as an attempt to chastise. The term "gypped" has some connotations once you know where it's from that make it hard to ignore and it ends up distracting from the point. After the origins become clear, it's sort of like hearing "jewed" as a verb. Gypped may be somewhat common, and may be used without ill-intent and unknowingly the vast majority of times, but it's also one of those words that's better dying off.
