jew

Word Fact:
The word Jew was asked to be removed from the Official Scrabble Dictionary by a woman named Judith Grad. During a game of scrabble her opponent played the word and she challenged it because it was a proper noun. When she looked it up in the dictionary the definition variants of Jew was Jewed, Jewing, Jews which was defined as "to bargain with" which offended her.

Merriam-Webster and Milton Bradley who she contacted to have the word removed, declined her first attempt.
