Ţigan

A Romanian word for Gypsy (Romani) that is loaded with negative connotations. Many use it to avoid confusing Romani for Romanians, however a better alternative is Romi. Romi used to be enslaved in certain parts of Romania, the word tigan implies slave status. A lot of non-Romi will tell you it’s not offensive, but that’s because it’s not targeted at them. Though not the worst word, most Romi find it offensive and degrading. When Romi use it towards each other it’s fine. Even if it’s the direct translation of Gypsy, it’s meaning in Romanian shows how negative it is. You wouldn’t see such definition for other ethnicities.

nu-mi spune Ţigan, sunt Rom.

Tiana Lei Massey

Tiana Lei Massey is an outstanding girl! She's a bit bio polar and always keeps you on your toes! She loves a great laugh and is totally fine with dirty jokes unlike most. She's a bit of perfectionist yet laid back. She goes with the flow but does her own thing. She's all about girl power!!! She's very independent which makes it very hard to find a guy who can put up with it. She's wild and crazy and PROUD OF IT!!!! She tends to always speak her mind so if you can't handle the truth don't stick around her. LOL. She's a true red head at heart. And can always make you smile! She is bubbly sweet and light on her feet. It's not hard to love her once you get past her rough attitude.

fun loving, hard worker, flirtatious, Tiana Lei Massey
