pikie

pikie
n
British
a gypsy or vagrant.
The term properly denotes one of the travelling people who lives in a settlement, such as a member of a family of hop-pickers. The precise origins of these terms (and the American piker) are unclear because of the conver-gence of two similar senses of 'pike'; the first is a toll road as in turnpike, the sec-ond is an archaic British verb meaning to depart or travel. In 2004 pikey was one of the terms used as a synonym for chav.
