You know, I recently learned the etymology of the word "goy." It turns out it came from Jewish tradition and simply meant a stranger, someone who is not part of the community. It's interesting how words change meaning over time.



Now "goy" has become some kind of meme on the internet. It's most often used to describe a certain type of people — those who live by the system but don't even realize that the system is controlling them. Honestly, it sounds a bit sad.

It turns out that the historical term "goy" has transformed into a way to mock people who don't think about their situation. I guess that's how language works — words live their own lives, regardless of their origins.
