Lollipop

A sweet that is sucked. The interesting thing about this word is that originally meant a toffee apple. It is a fairground word from the Romany 'loli phaba', meaning red apple.

wonga

English Romany word for money. Originally means burning embers and in other european Romani dialects 'angaar' still has that meaning. In 18th and 19th century English 'coal' also meant money. Wonga is the romani calque.

moola, dosh, bread, wonga, I don't care as long as its money

diddycoy

Originally a Romani term of respect (dadika) for an older person, this has come to mean (in UK English) a Gypsy or traveller who is not of pure blood. The insult is therefore compounded, not only does this person have the negative qualities that prejudice has associated with travellers, but they are also of suspect descent, doubly damned.

they're not even proper gyppos, they're fucking diddikois
