Macacawitz was a pejorative term used by Meryl Ibis, an field organizer for Democratic congressional candidate Al Weed as a reference for incumbent U.S. Senator George Allen. The self-coined slur, which resulted in Ibis's resignation, was a portmanteau of "Macaca," a slur used by Allen on August 11, 2006, and "-witz," a common ending of Jewish surnames. It was revealed on August 25 that Allen's mother was probably Jewish, and therefore, he was too.
