If they do not live in a council house they will have a huge mansion with 10 foot high barbed wire surrounding it and Alsations guarding it. They get money for these by robbing people or by selling the council house that they bought for £5000 for £105,000.
Even though they look poor (they will drive a knackered white Ford Transit (with no tax or MOT))they are rich - note much gold jewellwery.
They also are the sort of people who enjoy greyhound racing on a saturday night.
Bad taste is a pre-requisite for obtaining pikey status.

Scum of the earth, SCUM SCUM SCUM
IRISH no respect for anyone not even them selfs, my little 5 year old cousins made a snow man 5 mins after the snow man was made four pikey men ages between 15 and 45 came into the park and drove up the hill and ran the snow man over, then started throwing snow balls at young children, they thought this was extremly funny. pikeys do something illegal at least every half hour of the day.

Derogatory name for travelling folk such as Romany Gypsies, often used as an abusive term that is now frequently (and mistakenly) used to describe council estate scumbags who dress badly in cheap clothes and can be seen hanging around all over this country. They are people who have, for the last 800 to 1000 years, been forcibly chased out of every country in Europe, had their children taken away, been sterilised (that was a state sponsored initiative by the Swedish government up until 1974) and lets not forget the 3.5 million that were exterminated by Nazi Germany in the Holocaust among many other pleasant things Europe has done. Originally they were received in Europe with welcoming arms, the were hard working and had exotic items to trade but then landlords wanted them removed as they undermined their authority, this is when the first anti-gypsy laws came in and ever since then its has the states position to vilify and persecute them. Still today they are one of the most underrepresented and racially abused ethnic groups.
Now the descendants are highly suspicious of settled people are treat them like shit, I suffered from this working in a pub they didn’t like to leave and if you forced the issue they would smash the place up. But then as I am of Pikey origins on my fathers side i could undestand their resentment, my fathers family were forced to settle. I never knew any different from you and i have worked hard until i went to uni (which I am paying for). Some of them really are a bunch of dicks who do nothing more than make trouble, but not all. Its like saying all muslims are terrorist, all black men thieves and all white blokes are paedophiles.
