...and they changed the word Pikey (sp?) with gypsy, and I was wondering...is pikey like the "N-word" to gypsys?
I found it weird, and wondered if there was anymore to it then making it easier for someone watching it for the first time.
btw Snatch is in my top 3 favorite movies.

I love that movie too.

I thought Pikey was more of an enlish term. I know bloody or bleeding is more of an obscene term over there. I could be completely wrong.
I defer to Blakjeezis on this issue.
And I liked the movie a lot, but I liked Lock, Stock, and 2 Smoking Barrels better. Possibly only because I saw it first.

Spring term is almost over, and I'm really hating my job. My lease on my apartment is amost run out. The tags on my car expire next week. If I'm ever going to do it, this just seems like a good time to kill myself..</center>

You know you're a pikey when.....
1. The Halloween pumpkin on your front porch has more teeth than your spouse.
2. You let your twelve-year-old daughter smoke at the dinner table in front of her kids.
3. You've been married three times and still have the same in-laws.
4. Jack Daniels makes your list of "Most Admired People."
5. You wonder how service stations keep their restrooms so clean.
6. You wonder which football top and tracksuit bottoms to wear this week
7. You think that Dom Perignon is a Mafia leader.
8. You go to your family reunion looking for a date.
9. Your School Dance had a crŠche.
11. You lit a match in the bathroom and your house exploded right off its wheels.
12. You had to remove a toothpick for your wedding pictures.
13. Your engagement and wedding rings are full sovereigns from Argos.
14. You have to go outside to get something out of the 'fridge'.
15. One of your kids was born on a pool table.
16. Your dad walks you to school because you are both in the same year.
17. You need one more hole punched in your card to get a freebie at the House of Tattoos
18. You have flowers planted in a bathroom fixture in your front yard.
19. Ya can't get married to yer sweetheart 'cause there's a law against it.
20. You dated one of your parents' current spouses in school.
21. You think loading the dishwasher means getting your wife drunk.
22. Your toilet paper has page numbers on it.

The only way this movie can be watched and enjoyed is unedited and uncut.

I disagree. I've watched snatch quite extensively and never had to reverse my circumcision.

"Pikey" is basically the "n-word" for the Irish...though it's hardly as extensive as "nigger," and I have no idea why they'd change it over HERE.

They say "Pikey" like 400 times in that movie. That must sound and look AWFUL.

So I'm watching Snatch on tbs...
Since when does TBS show snatch, I thought that was reserved for playboy ,spice, etc.
