In the United Kingdom, a Gyppo is essentially a nomad. Also known as travellers, they wander from city to city across the country for a variety of reasons, some personal, some financial (no fixed address means they can easily evade local council tax). The term "Gyppo" is normally seen as a derogatory term and is used accordingly. Plural = Gyppos. Social views on Gyppos are more often than not negative, as the other reviewers on this page can demonstrate. Allegations against the traveller tribes include accusasions of vandalism, assault on local residents, litter, and a general nusiance. Also from time to time they build and entrench an organise "Traveller Camp", where local officialls and police can take some time to act to evict them from thier unlawful settlement. During this time around many traveller camps there have been complaints of noise, litter, drug deals and lewd or violent conduct towards local residents.

Get the gypsum gyppomug. A term originating and mainly used in the Pacific-Northwest region (northern costal USA, southern coastal Canada). It refers to generally smaller non-union groups paid by the job and the degree of the service produced that operates differently from a lot of the mainstream corporate operations which mostly charge cutthroat prices for jobs of which the quality may vary. The term originates from logging where these non-unionized, piecework operating outfits were called gyppo loggers. Now it applies to anything although it often pertains to manual labor. While gyppo outfits pay well in the short term, the benefit of this fizzles in the lack of unionization along with not having benefits or a pension which means you don't have a financially stable future when you cant work and means trouble if you get injured.
