The word kike was born on Ellis Island when there were Jewish migrants who were also illiterate (or could not use Latin alphabet letters). When asked to sign the entry-forms with the customary "X", the Jewish immigrants would refuse, because they associated an X with the cross of Christianity. Instead, they drew a circle as the signature on the entry-forms. The Yiddish word for "circle" is kikel (pronounced KY - kel), and for "little circle", kikeleh. Before long the immigration inspectors were calling anyone who signed with an 'O' instead of an 'X' a kikel or kikeleh or kikee or, finally and succinctly, kike."[4]

Even kikepedia will admit they earned them name because they hate the Cross.

Until you quit getting bamboozled by the morans telling you lies on purpose about who created Israel or why, you're just going to be stuck on repeat, mumbling something about "jews" like a pink-haired freak keeps mumbling about "racists". Not only are these words now devoid of meaning, I don't think most people who use them even understand what they were supposed to mean.
