burntcopperMe dad just forwarded me this pic of a pikey. There really are no words for the horrificness of this pic. I'm serious. Avert your eyes now.
For those of you outside the UK who have no idea what the word 'pikey' means, it's... um... sort of slang for gypsy. With extra connotations of wastrel thieving layabout with no taste. Difficult to explain, yet easy to categorise and throw scorn upon. Mostly wears sportswear, garish labels, trainers and the female is often to be seen with way too much jewellery and a scraped back ponytail, no need for facelift as skin stretched so tight anyway... Also see scally, charva, townie and many other derogatory words that essentially mean the same thing...
