Pikeys - Part 1

The term pikey is a pejorative slang term used to refer to Irish Travellers (also known as tinkers and knackers).

Irish Travellers (Irish: Lucht siúil) are a traditionally nomadic people of Irish origin living predominantly in Ireland and Great Britain, with a relatively small number in the United States. Among themselves, Travellers refer to themselves as Pavees. In Irish, Travellers are called an Lucht Siúil (literally, "the walking people").
