hi, trying to figure out how this all works & hope it's okay to leave this here. i've appended the list with an additional set of 25-30 terms and variations, each of which i believe falls under the category of "absolutely bad and is never used in a reclaimed context." viewable here: https://gist.github.com/gay-frogs/aaa6ead819b62a3538d95b1ded6e571a

The term Yid is literally just the Yiddish word for Jew. It is used as a slur by non-Jews but it's routinely used by Jews, both Yiddish and English speakers, in its original context.

I believe there may be similar concerns with some of the other entries.

"Goyim" jumps out at me in that list because it's legitimately used neutrally by Jews to mean "non-Jews," especially when talking about antisemitism. It's used in Yiddish and in modern Hebrew with the same meaning.
