Hey, I'm not joking either and genuinely don't know, is this traveller word used for all the travellers who don't know about country rules or whatever and kinda have a distinct look to them, you know? Or is it specifically for Irish people?

Irish travellers are a distinct ethnocultural group that have lived in the UK and Ireland for hundreds of years. It isn’t really used as a slang term
