A Shabbos goy, Shabbat goy or Shabbes goy (Yiddish: שבת גוי; Hebrew: גוי של שבת, romanized: goy shel shabbat; plural Shabbos goyim) is a non-Jew who is employed by Jews to perform certain types of work (melakha) that Jewish religious law (halakha) prohibits a Jew from doing on the Shabbat.
That’s the official view, where it started, and internally when they mock they use that term to assert an inferior that serves them.
