no idea if pikey is chav or like, a real gypsie, nevermind, enjoy this ned animation i found ages ago on YT, still makes me laugh. I think ned is the Scottish chav, can't figure it out with the strong accent but it's damn funny

zu.be. u disappoint me.
tl;dr

Think the term "pikey" is a bit too broad to be put in the same context as nig-nog.

This is to true. 'Pikey' round here has come to just mean skank, which is fucking wrong.

Not at all right as its making false links between Gypsies (which yes I'm aware again isn't the correct term) who mainly don't cause much trouble at all and twats/chavs who just happen to live in vans and caravans.

Gypsie and Pikey arn't really used to describe the same thing at all anymore.

It's a racial slur; like 'philistine' it has become somewhat diluted because of it's over use. Some of the British travelers are actually descended from the nomadic tribes that traversed around the place when London was still a few mud huts.

Basically tr0tksy is right, although the word may not carry as much gravitas as '*******r' or' paki' it is still extremely offensive when used to describe travelers. It is a racial slur. I must admit I don't like the word 'chav' either as it's often used to attack working classes but thats another argument

Jus another name for a chav. Who cares what it technically is.

This is a pikey. Also a chav. And a gypo.

Don't want to get in to a big argument, but some of those 'names' have bigger implications and a huge weight of terrible history on them. If the mississippi delta had been populated exclusively by people who wear baseball caps and burberry, the world would be a different place.

Well make it properly rather than sliding around like Torville and Dean.

"If I was called a whiteboy by somebody I wouldn't care" mixed with "nig-nog is just a name used to describe a group of people" lends readily to "try it out and see what happens".


How is this missing the point?

*sigh* the dumbed down version of my point, if you cared to read it and think about it rather than just assuming i'm a racist, is "sticks and stones..."
