    "Gypsy" is a slur btw.

    A nicer term is "Travellers" or "Travelling People".

    Some people use "Roma", but the Roma are an ethnic group and there are a lot of Roma who aren't travellers and a good few travellers who aren't Roma, especially in the British isles.

      Wait, I though Travellers were specifically an Irish group, Irish people that in a feat of convergent cultural evolution developed a lot of the same itinerant practices Roma engage in.
