(3,022 posts)since you are asking how the term would be used in speech I'm going to assume you have never heard anyone use it before. Mostly when I have heard it used, and by the way I have heard this used for at least three years, it is usually preceded by a full face palm and is then expressed as an anguished cry like when you are watching your dog eat cat shit after you just told him not to. Again, because you have not heard it before I have to assume you don't spend much time around black people. I'm an old white guy, but I do wind up spending a fair amount of time with black people due to my musical tastes. The inexplicable crazy dimwittery of a lot of white people is the subject of a lot of mocking talk. When black people have so much societal power that people with white names don't get hired and white people are the subject of stop and frisk the the concern about wypipo becoming a racial slur may be justified.
