If you've ever seen Snatch (which is from 2000), you should know it. I think that where I learned the word. The first mention of Pikey meaning a Gypsy is from before 1850, so it isn't a new thing. I'm surprised it isn't a nationwide known thing. I thought it was. As far as I'm aware of Pike isn't used like that, just Pikey. Still, Pike reminded me of it.
