Jew
When used as a noun, the term refers to an individual's ethnic or religious identity. It is standard to capitalize the word to show respect for the identity of the person or group.
When used as a verb, the term is highly offensive and derogatory. It invokes harmful antisemitic stereotypes regarding greed and bargaining. In modern English, using the word in this manner is considered a hate speech violation in many contexts and is socially unacceptable in all professional and polite discourse.
