do-as-you-likeys

Pikeys.

Amusing descriptive rhyming slang for the Romany people who have shared our lands for centuries yet still seem to be fair game when it comes to ethnic insults. And that's how hitler started folks. Probably.

Q: Yeah so have you seen, the do-as-you-likeys have moved into the park?

A: Cool we can all act all middle class and daily mail about it lol.
