The Roma people are colloquially called gypsies. Especially in Easter Europe they still face lot of discrimination and racism.

In some Slavic languages there is this old word - a verb - that literally translates as "gypsying". To gypsy means to tell lies. One would use it in sentences like "stop gypsying to me", meaning "stop lying to me". Pretty fucking racist, right?

A former populist prime minister of Slovakia faced a huge backlash, especially from the progressives, when he used the word gypsying in social media.

The current president of Slovakia, from a progressive party, faced an aplaus when she used the word mansplaining in social media.
