Pikey is a pejorative slang term used mainly in the United Kingdom[1][2] to refer to Irish Travellers, gypsies or people of low social class. Pikey is also sometimes called a piker in the United States,[3] but a piker in Australia and New Zealand means someone who refuses to do something within a group.[4]

But "piker" in the U.S. is a rarely used term that ranks about the same as calling someone a "slacker" or a "bum." No big deal. I get the impression that the reason Bluesman continues to try to control the conversation with this pejorative word is because he's a relatively anonymous individual here and can't be held accountable for his slurs.

It's time to stop this thread. Or people who know who "Bluesman" is need to give him a verbal knock upside the head (or better yet, you be Moe to his Curly and give him a dope slap). We're tired of your slurs, and it's time for you to move along.
