pikey is an impolite and possibly racially offensive term for a member of the irish travelling community. the term originated in west london around the uxbridge,hayes and west drayton area. it references the urban legend that travellers ate pike that they poached from the river, little britain lake etc. we now know this is untrue as they just steal anything they want and don't have the patience to fish.
