通常用于指代罗姆人,但被视为冒犯性词汇;在历史文献或特定语境中可能为中性;现代英语中建议避免使用,改用'Romani'。
Only 'tipsy' rhymes exactly with 'gypsy' (/ˈdʒɪpsi/), sharing the same stressed vowel /ɪ/ and ending /psi/. The other words (psychic, psycho, psyche, pseudonym, psalm) begin with 'ps' but are pronounced with a silent 'p' or different vowel sounds, so they do not rhyme. They are useful for comparing spelling patterns, especially the 'psy' chunk in the first four words, but 'pseudonym' and 'psalm' have only 'ps' and no 'y'.
