The word Yid (Yiddish: ייִד, pronounced: jid) is a slang Jewish ethnonym. Its usage may be controversial in modern English language. It is not usually considered offensive when ˈjiːd (rhyming with deed), the way Yiddish-speakers say it, though some may deem the word offensive regardless. When pronounced /ˈjɪd/ (rhyming with did), it can generally be perceived as a pejorative—and is used as a derogatory epithet by antisemites. Although many Jewish people use the term amongst themselves and a Jewish dating website of the same name exists.

Used as a badge of pride by the Jewish communities based near to the North London football club, such usage is not without a controversy.
