A better spelling is "gadje". BTW, in this area I seem to look very much like their lead attorney. All Gypsy groups have lawyers ~ usually non-Gypsies who have an interest in them.
Consequently I am regularly paid alms by Gypsies.
LOL! Better to be their friend than their enemy.
My information is all drawn from George Borrow and Donn Byrne, not from first hand experience.
