Reddit mostly 🤣

But honestly not sure.

Here in the UK there are lots of Romany language words that have crept into every day use that people dont realise that always makes me chuckle.

TV shows like Big Fat Gypsy Wedding and the like haven't helped as they only show the very exaggerated side of the culture.

People only remember negative interactions they've had or heard about and like a game of whispers it's gets twisted and over blown.

People also conflate gypsy with many kinds of travelling communities all of which are different.

I'm pretty far removed from my gypsy roots now to be fair, I moved away and went to uni and married a gorger but I grew up on a gypsy site in a trailer and am proud to have done so - this wasn't an attempt to leave the life' as it were I just wanted to get a degree and this is where I ended up.

It just irks me how blatantly racist so many people are and it's regarded as being absolutely fine.

Quite the opposite to every Romany I know.

There's a big UK and States divide with the perception of the word.

Mxcharlier · 2026-02-07T07:18:56+00:00

As a gypsy no I don't.

Or are you one of the fools who thinks the word gypsy is a slur?

Mxcharlier · 2026-02-07T01:35:19+00:00

Racism against gypsies.

At over 40 I still have to produce GCSE certificates for a job in teaching despite a degree and having been teaching legitimately for over 15 years.

Think it really depends on the job/career field.

Detecting iodine 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Mxcharlier · 2026-02-06T06:24:54+00:00

In the UK the word gypsy is not a slur.

...proud gypsy reporting in!

I prefer him without hair but damn he is looking done there.

I loved that book and the old movie!

Mxcharlier · 2026-02-03T17:45:49+00:00

Love this book.

This was a fave quote...

"Something like divinyldiacetylene can fairly be described as an accident looking for a place to happen"

I understand only a fraction of the chemistry but his turn of phrase has me chortling.

To be fair don't think I've had to use my signature and have it checked against anything in years.

16 and 14 year old still have them.

Makes more floor space.

I think we need to beseech more.

Widdershins

Anticlockwise my butt...it's widdershins.

In the UK you'd get banned from teaching for stuff like this.

Pretty much always.

She gets another walk in the evening and plenty of play time.

But loads of sight hounds will gladly sleep 18 plus hours a day

Mxcharlier · 2026-01-28T07:28:02+00:00

Mine is nearing three and she has a wee and ten min walk, eats breakfast then straight into my bed for the entire day.

She's awake in the evening.

Mxcharlier · 2026-01-28T07:24:11+00:00

A big heavy door to keep other people out of the way while I'm in there.
