What's on your mug?

Nomadic people hated by most of the population for no reason. Not to be confused with "modern-day gypsies" who live like pigs and steal. The gypsy people, contrary to popular belief, are honest and hard working, and would rather make something and sell it than steal. Most have stopped travelling nowadays, but there are still some who refuse to settle down, and festivals at certain times of the year celebrating the culture.

"My grandfather was a gypsy and often wove baskets to sell as he travelled."

Gypsy's are regular people just like you and me, they have good people and bad people just like every single other race out there. They come from some part of India but aren't exactly Indian, not sure what they are? all I know is that they're very sexy and exotic people. Many were killed in the holocaust along with the Jews

Those Gypsy's sure can dance

1) A "social squatter" One who show's up at party through 2nd and 3rd degree invitions, drinks all your alcohol, pretends there friends with everyone, and if male, often hits on ever female in the house before they leave. No one really wants them there, but no one really knows that they don't belong other an overwhelming dislike for the gypsy that isn't discussed until it's too late. It's not often that this person doesn't even know who's house they are at. 2) Also seen in use as "fair weather friend"

Party host says, "Who the hell is that gypsy drinking my Crown ?"

As a genuine romni traveller living in the UK I would describe us as misunderstood people. The ones you see on TV they are not romni. They are New Age travellers and it is different. All my people want is to live at peace with everyone and be free to live our life the way we choose to without prejudice. We will not judge you, please do not judge us. We face so much judgement and I understand where it comes from. People do not trust that which they don't know so I understand completely. It's a case of the actions of a few let down the reputation of us all and so has been the case for years. We are people at one with nature, we love the earth, we live,off the land and I can say for myself, I only want peace. Gypsy we are called. We are Romany travellers. An ancient line of free spririted slanderers.cthw story goes that there was a curse hundreds of years ago that forbids us to settle and has sent us wandering all of our days.

I am a gypsy girl, a Romany traveller girl. My name is Sarita. I love to dance and I love the earth and I am so thankful for the breath in my body and the rhythm of my hart. X
