This is a term to describe people less fortunate than us, They usually live on your local beauty spot and appear over night. Some have actually worked hard ripping off the elderly, by repairing a roof tile for £10000. So they can afford to lower the tone of an area by moving in to a house.
They drive four by four vehicles, which are usually towing your Ifor Williams trailer that was nicked three weeks previous. They find it hard to grasp the concept of father’s day, as usually they don’t know which of the many men in their life is actually the father.
They enjoy bare knuckle fighting as a sport and usually have a metal bar or rabies infected dog for back up.
There idea of a holiday is getting caught doing a crime and being sent to prison where they will rent out there asshole for a small sum.

From the English "turnpike", the place where itinerent travellers and thieves would camp near a settlement.

Pikey is not a racial group, the term is used to describe anyone who lives in a caravan or shares the same values and "culture" of "the travelling community", and whose main sources of income are as follows:

Stealing cars, flogging roses in pubs for "childrens' charities", nicking lead off roofs, burgling garden sheds, blagging entry to old peoples house to rob them, doing dodgy tarmac jobs ("we've got some black stuff left over from a job up the road"), sometimes with mint imperials used as a substitute for white chippings, or, reportedly, using snow to lay slabs on when the sand ran out, stealing your bollocks if they weren't in a bag and anything else that's not nailed down and anything that is nailed down but will fit in the back of an untaxed Transit when nobody's looking.

Characterised by lurchers on a string, a unintelligible language that "isn't English, it isn't Irish, it's just Pikey" (source: Film: Snatch), a penchant for harecoursing, ketamine, lighter fuel, fighting in pubs and shopping at Lidl.

Best avoided.

A Gypsy or Circus person. British version of trailer trash. Also a dialect used by pikeys which is a cross between English and Irish.

Originally a harmless slang name for a gypsy and/or traveller, being derived from the word 'turnpike.'

Now generally regarded as a term of abuse that encompasses any persons perceived as common, tasteless, flashy, in-bred, thieving and a whole host of other sins, the primary term is till applied to gypsies.

Once thought of as the type of person who sold you useless lucky heather whether you wanted it or not, the pikey is now the type of person who will uselessly tarmac your driveway whether you want it or not.

A popular hobby amongst pikeys is collecting; mainly dogs, horses, scrap metal and stolen goods.

The Pikey: NOT A CHAV/TOWNIE - A totally different type of cretin.

A pikey is someone of dubious origin who would like to be known as a traditional happy-go-lucky romany type, but in reality is an illiterate thieving bastard who would stoop to previously unheard of depths in an attempt to 'earn' money. I use the term 'earn' loosely, as nearly all pikey commerce activities involve a modicum of illegal activity somewhere along the line.

Winter sees your typical pikey become an expert in UPVC fitting, summer they revert to the more traditional 'garden maintenance'

They are easily differentiated from your honest tradesman by the untaxed stolen (& nearly brand new) transit, emblazened with the words 'ask driver for details'.

Pikey youths normally hang out at the nearest Lidl during the day, & the pub unfortunate enough to be near their illegal campsite at night.

Arguments with these 'people' are futile, as they neither understand english or would care if they could. If you are lucky enough to put one of these creatures down be warned - their immediate family (normally numbering 100 plus) will hound you down.

Its best to avoid them like the plague, or do a Tony Martin & shotgun the buggers.

Somebody who wears more rings than they have fingers.

A pikey is a filthy person. Contrary to popular belief in Urban Dictionary a pikey is NOT a chav or towny but a irish gypsy, at least it is where i'm from (represent evesham). Often inbred peoples (?) who move uninvited into fields/parks and totally decimate the whole area around it, even when they're gone. Claim all sorts of benefits and live tax free because they are scum.Speak in an unintelligible and yet untranslated crossbreed of Irish and English and ever sentence from them consist of the words 'boi' and a death threat somewhere in there. Often/always called Smith and own white Ford Trabnsit pickups. Like the ones Tony Martin shot. Go tony.

Pikeys are the scum of society that are feared but mostly hated by every member of the community apart from themselves. You can spot a pikey from a mile away due to their ugly looks, constant stench of stale fags and Stella. Not to mention their shell suits with the most schnide Burberry you will ever see in your life. Everything they own is stolen, ranging from their fat, dirty cheap sovereigns to their trainers, which they most probably got by them and their “bruvs” robbing some poor little defenceless kid. You can tell where a pikey has been by the puddles of spit they leave and their poor attempts to graff accompanied by they ridiculously named gangs written on every available surface of the street. They all shag the same slag before she is 16 as any later than that age as socially unacceptable in a pikey society so you will find that Wayne is Shane’s brother and dad. Sexually transmitted diseases are rife so don’t even consider getting a blowjob off one... Little fucking shits!
