Get the Water Gypsy mug.
A person that lives on a barge on a canal.

Like a land gypsy, water gypsies travel and live in a terrible habitat, smell horrible and is a valid form of insult.

Unlike land gypsies, water gypsies are unlikely to steal unless their way of life is threatened, have pet dogs or ‘dags’ Or ask for ‘any old iron’.
Steve: ‘Hey Doug! Do you want to go to the Dog and Duck later by the canal?’

Doug:’No way, there’s way too many water gypsies floating around by around there!’
