Natalie, get ready for some sad pedantic git to come on and nasally whine that "...Pikey is racist because it refers to Irish travellers blah blah blah de ******* blah.............."
I love the term pikey - it it just so much better than 'chav', and in fact 'round these 'ere parts pikey has been used for chav long before the word 'chav' achieved national familiarity.
All, ALL, the scummy underclass that appear on Kyle are pikeys.
However, I love it. I had last Friday off work and it was brilliant. 50 year old pikey shagging a 17 year old pikey - 17 year old pikey was only 50% sure 50 year old pikey was the father of her pikey child, which he was.
Fantastic.
It is a great way of observing pikey scum without having to run the gauntlet of visiting them in their natural habitat of a sink estate.
