Goy and goyim are also just actually words that are fairly commonly used by many English speaking Jews.
Fair amount of other Yiddish and Hebrew words other than goy/goyim are used this way as well.
Its like... an additional vernacular.
Chutzpah, means basically ... shameless audacity, or ... arrogant presumption of privilege, something like that.
Oi Vey! ... basically 'Woe is me!', but also kind of more like 'Oh shit/fuck/no'... sort of.
... I'm not saying you can't use these words and phrases as like, part of a cariacature, but they are also just words and phrases you'd have probably picked up, growing up in a Jewish family, or around them.
Similar to how you'd have an additional vernacular set if you were from some other cultural/ethic/religious background...
... not exactly the same, but Evangelical Christians for example have a weird tendency to pluralize 'evidence' into 'evidences', use 'discernment' in common speech waaay more often than others do, etc.
