i remember after moving the 15th or 16th time all the travellers kids in the new town assumed i was one of em and kept addressing me in gammon for like 3-4 months it was weird

do you look like your parents? maybe you are secretly a traveller by blood and they knew it
― mh, Wednesday, 30 January 2013 01:55 (eleven years ago) link
by the time you've moved 15 times the blood kinda starts to become insignificant tbph

Cockney rhyming slang and Polari are generally talked about as being "secret" argots as well, i think. idk how true that is in the case of the former.

listen away to yerman now. you will have noted the earlier known backyard challenge where a buck sounds like a dog straining at a leash. it only comes to mind after i spent a bit of time on the chronic pulmonary/respiratory ward last week where there was an alarmingly high instance of traveller men- i'd read before that they have a very high occurrence of respiratory diseases alright but it didnt hit home until they outnumbered settlers in a setting like that. i wonder the cause, might look it up.
anyways idk was the mcginley called out here anything to the mcginleys here

John Fury is an ex-fighter himself – and a good one, too, going by the moniker "Gipsy" and facing up against English world champ Henry Akinwande in the early-90s. However, in 2011 he was jailed for gouging out the eye of a man named Oathie Sykes at a car auction. John served four years of his 11-year sentence for what he described at the time as "a fair fight between travelling people".
