Acronym: People Impersonating Kind Energetic Youths
The Government has been aware for some time now that there are a growing number of young travelling folk that have been committing crimes at random. These crimes are often aimed at the hard working people of the country and usually involve theft or fraud. Usually the perpetrator seems to be a nice, keen young person who seems totally trustworthy at first. However, the Government is also aware that they are a minority amongst their people and is reluctant to encourage any form of racism against the communities of the travelling folk.
With this sensitive issue in mind, it has been decided that the people need to be warned against this particular element within the travelling society without offending the community at large and not allowing any stigmatism to the travelling folk. So Police forces across the land have been told to look out for PIKEY’s and arrest them if they are in any doubt about their intentions. Public information films and poster campaigns will be launched to advise people how to recognise a PIKEY and what to do if they suspect there are any PIKEY’s in their area. There is even speculation that new laws will be made to enable property owners to protect their property “how they feel fit” if they catch PIKEY’s on their land.

A Pikey is very commonly used in Gosport, located in England.
It's originally slang for a Gypsie, however many people will now use it as a term for stealing and an insult.
'Pikey' in English slang could mean a few things but ill mostly mean 'thief'
So if your halfcast, immigrant cat steals your chips you could scream "Pikey"
Pikey is also a verb, for example: "My cat pikeys my munch" translates to ~ my cat steals my food.

Pikeys is a word used for the rough, illegal types of gypsies. I believe that most gypsies are mis-understood - becoming the victims of cruel insults suggesting they are violent crooks. Infact, most modern day gypsies are simply honest, hard working travellers that would rather excape the rat-race and live more simply. I am very close to gypsy and have realised his way of life is based on simply enjoying a free spirited life in an honest way. Gypsies are highly mis-understood and i think people should take on a more open minding outlook on travellers and seek to learn about them before obtaining an opinion.
