| Aug 20, 2021 at 22:13 | comment | added | Mitch | The contents at the link are not particularly substantive (and I think it best that there not be cut and paste). Can you add anything to this answer that says anything about where the term came from? When you say 'an Irish slur' does that mean it is a slur used by the Irish about Travellers or about Travellers who are Irish or what? | |

Don't want to censor here, but surely we don't want to paste the highly offensive term "pikey" in the body of an answer? It's basically equivalent to the "N word" in the UK, and the rest of the quote has very regressive and offensive stereotypes.

| Aug 20, 2021 at 14:53 | comment | added | sjmeverett | This seems like a decent theory, thanks very much! I'll mark it as accepted if I can corroborate it somewhere a little more reliable, but I fear I might not be able to. BTW, I edited your answer to remove the quote as the source itself is extremely offensive. We probably don't want to print that kind of thing directly on Stack Exchange but I guess the mods will decide! | |
