When she said “throwing out my crop top” I said to myself, “Thats fine for her, but I’m in Florida and I’m still gonna wear crop tops when it’s hot no matter how old I get!” 😂 Then at the end, she said “throwing away the idea that women over a certain age have to dress more conservatively” and I said “HOORAYYYY!” out loud 😅😂
Same!! I learned something today at 23 years old, happens every day but I really appreciate this one!😓 I’m throwing it out of my vocabulary and in the trash and I’ll let my family know too. Thanks Amber!
I literally didn’t know until watching this that that was the spelling of the word “Gypped” nor that it was derived from the slur. Thank you for educating me ☺️❤️👍
I notice she put it in the bin really gently, so it didn't break... I wouldn't be surprised if it gets rescued later too like the crop top, or donated to a thrift shop. 😂
My previous boss used "powwow" I told him he was being weird and maybe just say meeting. Next time he said "let's have a little powwow, oops, I mean *meeting*" while staring at me...
Thanks Amber, I like the reminder that I can learn and get rid of words that are unkind. I can look back at my life and see words I don’t say anymore, assumptions about people that I don’t have anymore, and I can draw strength to keep growing and learning.
That style of hat is actually a Trilby. If the brim is narrow like that, it's not a fedora. They're similar, but fedoras have wider brims, like what Indiana Jones and Freddy Krueger wore.

Which is fine. But getting the law involved is what makes it bad. It’s two separate things. nobody cares if anyone get offended by anything. Everyone is entitled too. But if someone loses their job, gets jailed, has to pay a fine or if an unnecessary huge amount of taxes are spend,it’s different

@Jack Baker would you like a completely inaccurate movie about you using your name and completely glossing over horrible things that happened and turning people that abused you into heroes and love interests? i dont care if its a "cool story" it's about a real person and a total lie
I remember being in elementary school in the mid/late 80s, and the teacher’s would tell us to sit “Indian style”. I also remember the term “Indian giver” when you would give someone something, then ask for it back.
@@FromThaJump Jack is just going to troll ALL of this section with his Boomer comments. 🤣. Imagine thinking anyone cares about the opinion of an insensitive bigot. 🤣
IKR!!! Why do I STILL see the term for such an innocent item of clothing??? How does wearing one thing make you a physically abusive husband??? Nope, disrespecting women makes an abusive husband, not a piece of fabric.
I was a bit upset when Amber threw out that tank top because it is adorable and she can totally pull it off (unlike me). So the ending of this video made me very happy. And her husband too I would guess.
I like the suggestion of Patronus instead of "spirit animal," so we can still express associations with sloths or tigers or the Swiss BT font (don't judge) without being hurtful.
That whole message was beautifully imparted & gratefully received! I didn’t even know that “gypped” came from “gypsy”! I guess I should’ve or at least been curious enough to look it up. Now that I know, I won’t be using it again. Thank you, Princess Amber🥰 for educating me in ways I don’t see coming.
Laughing... I just bought a bunch of velour sweatsuits. No one sees me. I live alone. They're comfortable and I don't have to think about what to wear.

Noname made me realize that gypsy was a slur, but never even thought that “gypped” was even slightly related. In the trash it goes.
Gypsy isn't a slur. They're just another group of people that get a lot of hate.
Me too! I honestly thought it was spelled jipped - never made the connection!
@@kmk403 It's a misnomer; like calling the Native Americans "Indians". Gypsy came from the incorrect assumption that the Romani people were from Egypt

Yep, when you learn that something is hurtful, just toss it out! Thanks for this Amber - a gentle but firm way to teach us how to be better.
Was in my 30’s when I learn that “gypped” was related to the word gypsy, and was a slur. No longer in my lexicon.

Ooh I didn't mean he wears them to support his moons I meant underneath his shirt everyday
Yeah I learned that in my teens and I'm36 now, so I'm surprised people still say it.
I'm 55 and just learned today!!
I didn't learn until my late twenties. I had never seen it spelled out and then when I did, I saw the connection 😐
This needs to be a PSA on running on every platform. Learning from your past and doing better is growth. 🙌🏽❤️
Not gonna lie, the whole time I kept expecting her to bring out the electoral college and throw it in the 🗑 where it belongs.
Along with the filibuster.

Why was it not a surprise when Amber decided to retrieve that itsy-bitsy top from 'la basura' ? 😆
I'm still watching so that was a spoiler, but no I'm not surprised. I thought she was crazy for that. 😅
Because my first reaction to her throwing it out was "no! girl! That would look super cute on you!!!"
I had never considered the origins of "lame." Thanks, Amber.
Yeah, it never even occurred to me that it would be ablest

The Spanish one, THANK YOU. Sick of people treating other languages like a joke.
Ey, let's make this a segment everyone does
I just now learned the etymology and correct spelling of gypped. Thank you Amber!
I was _wondering_ where she was going with that. Clever, Amber!
I just love Amber so much.
Amber, you are great. And I love your style, which is also a past fashion trend.😂🤣😂
Keep being you!!!🍀
It's like Sesame Street for adults. Lessons learned and entertaining.

I have gypsy blood and a spirit animal. I'm keeping both.
If it's your blood, that's fine. I think what she really wants to ditch is cultural appropriation.
It's that easy!!
I still see people using “spirit animal” sooo much!! 😩
Trynta Marie Kondo my pre-eviction reality.
I remember being told they shouldn't be called wifebeaters back in like 2000. Who would have guessed some trashy people are resistant to change.
Only really heard that on The O.C. so that fits the early 2000's timeline.

Yay! I love the terms!
I tweeted "Amber Ruffin is my spirit animal" a while back. Was she talking about me!?!😱😂
