    “Goy, bye” the Huffington Post told Steve Bannon on his way out of the White House Friday.

    The headline was posted with pride by Lydia Polgreen, the editor in chief of the left-wing news outlet, and it immediately drew raised eyebrows.

    "Goy" is generally considered a derogatory term for non-Jews. Unlike the word "gentile," the word "goy" is most often meant to be pejorative. Google dictionary describes the word as "informal" and "derogatory."

    It seems possible the Huffington Post was trolling Bannon over accusations he represented a white nationalist faction in the White House.

    But the ill-advised headline drew other interpretations.
