Yay msbelle! That's awesome!
I tried to nap, since I woke up at what was 2:30am on this coast. It was only sorta successful, not helped by the phone ringing a few times. Sigh.
I didn't really hear much of that sort of thing in conversation that I remember, but being a huge bookworm as a child, I sometimes read older books and encountered words I wasn't sure of. Though I must admit, for most of my life I had no idea "gypped" referred to gypsies! I mean, they weren't a commonplace group where I was growing up, or anything, so it's not like anyone was making the connection directly.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
One day I will convince my father not to use a certain phrase about rigging things, but it hasn't happened yet.
I assume not "jury," but rather...Brazil nuts? My dad uses that phrase, too.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I don't even know what a Brazil nut is (no need to explain, I'm not nut-interested).
Okay, I got myself a half hour break before my (hopeful) last call.
Let me not spend it in front of both computers.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
ita,
it isn't what a Brazil Nut is, but what its very very racist nickname is.
