Course, l can't say l seen London, and l never been to France, and l ain't never seen no

and this here story l'm about to unfold, well, l guess l've seen something every bit as stupefying

Originally a derogatory term for Romani people, who were known by the British population as gypsies because it was falsely believed that they originated from Egypt.

With the arrival of Irish Travellers in Britain, the terms "gyppo" and "gypsy" were also applied to these people.

Nowadays the term "gyppo", like "pikey", is often used as an insult to refer to anyone who is perceived to be poor, dirty, smelly and/or inclined to theft.
You're a dirty fucking gyppo!

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.

A dead drop is a location used to secretly pass items between two people, without requiring them to meet.

Spies have been known to use dead drops, using various techniques to hide the items and to signal that the drop has been made. Drug dealers use this as well.

A common place is to duct tape the item to the underside of a toilet cover in a public restroom.

A signal is sometimes used as well to indicate there is something to pickup, like a pile of stones in a certain formation. After checking the drop the signal is removed.
"The dead drop is the restroom toilet at the Gulf station at the corner of Commercial Ave. and Georges Rd."

No Surprises Wedding

A "No Surprises Wedding," or NSW, is a wedding invitation designation that tells attendees that there can be no unplanned announcements, engagements, events or speeches at the wedding - all actions must be pre-approved by the couple. Anyone who performs an unapproved "surprise" will be asked to leave the wedding early.

This designation comes from Reddit, where so many stories of bad wedding behavior indicated a need to communicate expectations for the wedding behavior of attendees.
You are cordially invited to the nuptials of Brian and Tom on October 31 at noon.

Please note that this wedding is child-free (under 10) and a No Surprises Wedding (NSW). Reach out to wedding planner Sami Smith to request approvals or exceptions; please note that exceptions will be rare. Limited child care for under-10s will be available. All approvals will be noted and included in planning. Unapproved, or surprise exceptions, will result in guests being asked to leave.
