A derogatory word which modern Greeks use as a an insult to the Republic of Macedonia on a political and social level. Not only is it racist and disrespectful but it is incorrect.
Little do most Greeks know, but when Greece forcefully renamed all of the Macedonian placenames in northern Greece (their Macedonian region) in the 1920s. They renamed one village to "Skopia", yet they use this as an insulting term for the Republic of Macedonia.

A racist and derogatory term used to name a self identifying ethnic Macedonian. This applies not only to people from the Republic of Macedonia, but ethnic Macedonians living in Greece, Australia, Canada and the US.
It is used mostly in a racist context (such as Sherman's post above).
This racist mentality is not only common amongst citizens of Greece, but also greeks around the world. It has much to do with the fact that the Greek government also supports such racism and helps to propagate it.

The best examples of racism with the term are in Sherman's post above.
A typical example of the phrase is something like
You fucking Skopian gypsie.
