query: Why is Scrapie called such?
passage: Scrapie
The name scrapie is derived from one of the clinical signs of the condition, wherein affected animals will compulsively scrape off their fleeces against rocks, trees, or fences. The disease apparently causes an itching sensation in the animals. Other clinical signs include excessive lip smacking, altered gaits, and convulsive collapse.[6]
passage: Irish Travellers
"Pikey" or "pikie" is a slang term, which is pejorative and considered by many to be a slur. It is used mainly in the UK and Ireland to refer to people who are of the Traveller Community. In a pejorative sense it means "a lower-class person", perhaps 'coarse' or 'disreputable'. It is not well received among Irish Travellers or Romani, as it is considered an ethnic slur.
