why not just renamed?
I think Polars comparison of paki from pakistani is extremely valid, considering the origins of "gypsy" come from a derogatory reflection of Eqyptian travellers, and consequently all who choose to do so to this day.
Be they scum or not, Gypsy and gypo are derogatory and this thread should be shut down.
I think we should wait until one of them complains before closing the thread rather than have the PC brigade asking for it to be closed.
biggest load of shit I have heard in ages, lets just call them thieving cnuts in caravans then....:icon_roll

You are the first person to make me aware that the word Gypsy is derogatory. I genuinely do not think that people use this term in this way. I would say using the word Paki is a completely different matter though. If you don't say Gypsy what are you supposed to say? The world has gone mad!! Next you'll be telling me that I can't say blackboard or whiteboard!

I've heard you also get thieving cnuts who live in houses! Does that make me one!?
why is intelligence being brought into this? surely BG etc can have differing opions to you without being thick mate?
If you really think that gypsy or gypo have ever been anything other than derogatory, then yes, I'd come to a pretty quick conclusion that you avoided school.
so these nice boys that you know would punch people for voicing their opinions....must be nice people then
Nope, not for voicing opinions, but for coming out with the kind of vile insults that people seem to feel free to post on here. Hey, that's your choice and right - all I'm saying is that you might want to go and try it with the travellers you seem to hate so much.
you ever come home to find your house empty? your car broken into? and the OB tell you there is nothing they can do because they know who did it but cannot do anything?
and also would it not be better to teach them how to read and write rather than fight? thats says a lot about them doesn't it.
i never came out with those comments. tit
