Why not use Gypo, Pikey sounds more gayThe court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.
But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”Comment

Oi Gypo spin it, works better on the WaltzersThe court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.
But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”Comment

I used the word 'gyppo' once at a client site and it was suggested to me I should not use this phrase.
"Of course" I replied, "it should be thieving gyppo".
Some debate ensued over this, but in the end the majority seemed to agree with me.Cats are evil.Comment
