Get the Tinder Exhibitionist mug.Tinkers is a term for a group of Irish Travellers who worked with tin and mended pots and pans from door to door in rural Ireland before urbanisation in the 1960's. This is a perjoritive term these days and is used to insult Irish Travellers, as gyppo is to insult Romani people (different ethnic nomads in Britain & Ireland).
Not all Irish Travellers were tinkers (from tinsmithing or tinsmith) as there were horse dealers, market traders etc.
Irish Travellers have their own distinct culture, traditions, way of life and language and are indigenious to Ireland and are said to be here in Ireland before the Celts arrived in Ireland 500 yrs BC.

They may go into a sort of sleep, trance, stoned dance, referred to on the street as Tinkerbelle, Tinkerbell, Tinkerbells, or Tinkerbelling.
This movement may last just a moment, or persist for ten to twelve hours or more. The behavior usually starts before the syringe has been withdraw from the body.
Often during some part of this activity they may curl up, rolling backward on their spine, draw there knees close together, flutter there legs in the air as if riding a bicycle, pointing their toes towards the sky.
At other times it may appear to be a spasm, complete with twitching, jerking, shuddering, and shivering. The enthusiast may dance and thrash around taking off clothing as they go. They may nod out and awaken incessantly. Eyes may be partially closed or open. Devotees often claim they were asleep on their feet.
When standing sleep-trance dancing, pretty ladies, may remind spectators of Peter Pan’s fairy, with all the bells and whistles of a gypsy, who does not give a tinker's damn what anyone else thinks about how susceptible to physical or emotional harm they appear.
Tinker from “Tinkers dame,” bell from “bells and whistles,” Tinkerbell from “Peter Pan.”
