GOY - n Hebrew (GOY); pl. goyim (GOY-eem) Common biblical word meaning "nation" or "people." Today, it is most often used among Jews to refer to someone who is not a Jew. Unlike "gentile," is it often used disparagingly.

SHIKSA - n. Yiddish (SHICK-sa) A gentile girl or woman. The word is a distortion of the Hebrew root sheketz, which refers to the flesh of a taboo animal in the Torah. Since intermarriage to non-Jews was taboo, this word applied to them. This is a derogatory term.
