Travelers

This is a bit of a stretch, but Popular Woodworking has a Traveling Tool Case on their December cover.
Well, gypsies were sometimes called "travelers". I would have called their tool case, are you ready for this?

"Gypsie Tool Case" :rolleyes:

I wonder if they're trying to stay politically correct?

I don't get it...

"Travelers" is now aplied to a different roving bunch said to be much like gypsies. I think that for many the words would be interchangeable. But most people probably see less stigma with "travelers ".

I really did not know they still exist.

As I understand it, "travellers" is a common term still in use in Ireland and England (and prolly Scotland and Wales, too). They are not Roma ("gypsies"), but an ethnically distinct group in Ireland: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irish_Travellers

It may be wise to post about things you actually know.
