Didicoy
Didicoy is a term used by Roma people for people who are of mixed Roma blood.[1] The ancestry of these people is not completely Roma. Full blooded Roma and didicoy do not get along well with each other.[1] The Romanichal (full blooded Roma people) often believe that their reputation for criminality is based on the actions of didicoys and other nomadic groups that are refered to as "Gypsies".[1] Some families of mixed blood often call themselves "kyes".
Often, the non-nomadic population of Roma people in the United Kingdom use the term Didicoy as slang for all Roma people. An example of an old Romani song about a mixed blooded Roma is the "Romano Rai".[2]
