    Know exactly what you mean mate. Was just referring to the fact that the two words are as far apart as you can imagine. Gipsy is not a derogatory word. Pikey is extremely offensive to a Gipsy. Be careful in saying it to strangers. The other 4 nicknames have very little to do with offensiveness, but are indeed banter between football fans. As for fritzels. It's fairly unknown outside football fan circles (work in Sheffield btw);. Spent Half hr trying to explain to a Dee dah after he'd called me a dingle . He Still dint gerrit.

    Bit Sheffieldish this thread on the basis of look at how many fans we have.. Don't be like Sheffield.

    I'd probably lose my job if i used the word "pikey" on social media. We have had quite a few patients on our mental health wards from the travelling community over the years: so yes it is highly offensive terminology.
    "Pigs" is fine though :)

    Have to admit ... I don't know the significance of the word "pikey".
    Please explain.
