Someone who has the facial features of a gypsy, other 'carney folk' or travelling nomad. This may be due to having eyes close together, or dark skin due to working around diesel fair-ride generators. They may also have small hands.

Any of a type of prostitute that offers her services to men, particularly tourists, and does so in a forceful, often larcenous manner. Prostitutes of this kind are prevalent in Prague's Old Town Square, where they are easily identified by their rat-face gypsy appearance.
Rat-faced Gypsy Whore: "You speak English?"
Tourist: "Yes"
Rat-faced Gypsy Whore: "You want sex?" (while attempting to rob the contents of the startled victim)

In negotiations or in a hierarchy, this is a strategy of holding back the commitment of some resources. The plan is that they might be subsequently required by a customer or superior and, when provided, gives them the sense that they have gained a considerable concession. This is named after Gypsy Rose Lee (1911-1970), American ecdysiast (stripteaser), who advised a stripper to pretend that she had completed her disrobing but still had one or more garments that could be removed and had been planned to do so. This caused the customers to clamor for her to remove more, and when she would seemingly reluctantly did so, it would, give them the sense of having gotten something extra.
On my original proposal, I used the Gypsy Rose Lee strategy by not listing some things that were planned because I knew that they would be requested and I wanted to give the impression of them having gained some big concessions.

A lighter form of referring to someone as an offensive form of gyspy, due to the comical ending of the phrase. Often used in jest. Although gypsy's are stereotyped in modern society as being 'lowlife', many of them are actually perfectly normal people, thus making this phrase a derogatory term.
