Ber Im afraid your wrong there
As I said it has worked its way into Limericks lexicon and the meaning has changes so it does not count as discriminating against travellers as much as you hope it does
Once again please stop trying to read into something taht isnt there
So the meaning has now changed? so if u use this to describe a traveller then it is no longer derogotary? there was a docoumentary recently on TV about travellers and when they were asked they viewed that term to describe them to be
the same as using the N word to describe black people
Blatant promotion should be outlawed

Vincent Browne is a Hero
Ber I think you know it has
It has nothing to do with the travelling communiity
Guys let's keep it friendly what I want to know is how did Fitzy get a mention in the lyrics
CG
I'm at Amanda's weddin, In a church on Thomas Street
I'm lookin at a bridesmaid, and she lookin back at me
And when the service ends, ask her if she wants a lift
back to the hotel, anything goeS, well finger and a shift
She says Fitzy drives a Mitzy, and he offered me a spin
Enda have a Honda, so I might just go with him
and Darren Gibney said he bring me in his Subaru
so what the fuck would make you think I'd wanna go with you
I said Fuck your Honda Civic, I've a horse outside
fuck your Subaru, I have a horse outside
and fuck your Mitsubishi, I've a horse outside
if you're lookin for a ride I've got a horse outside
She said I don't believe ya
I said it's fuckin true
I swapped him for a bag of yokes in 1992
I don't need insurance, I don't need no parkin space
and if you try to clamp my horse he'll kick you in the face
I don't pay no tax, fuck NCT
you'll arrive in style if you ride with me
and the boys are walkin over, jinglin their keys
I look the fuckers up and down and give them one of these
I said Fuck your Honda Civic, I've a horse outside
fuck your Subaru, I have a horse outside
and fuck your Mitsubishi, I've a horse outside
if you're lookin for a ride I've a horse outside
Giddy up now baby, bless my soul
I rode the fucker round a field back since he was a foal
He runs a bit like Shergar, and he jumps like Tír na nÓg
He looks like Billy Piper after half an ounce of coke
and the boys are lookin jealous, as I lead yer one away
and just before I close the door I look at her and say
Would you be my girl, and she says I will of course
if ya grab me by the ponytail and ride me like a horse
ya!
Fuck your Honda Civic, I've a horse outside
fuck your Subaru, I have a horse outside
and fuck your Mitsubishi, I've a horse outside
if you're lookin for a ride I've a horse outside
I intend to live forever. So far, so good.

Urban dictionary says
Another meaning of the term "Knacker" can roughly be equated with the English term Ned, ie, a person who wears nothing but Nike, Adidas or Puma gear, stands on the corner of the local Mac Donalds all evening trying to intimadate young children who walk by.
Love it! Me thinks the song is one fine 'HOT MESS'
For those of you have forgotten here it is again
To be honest, I've never heard this term used in any racial context. This word (from what I understand from where I am originally from) means testicles. We also refer to taking animals (mainly horses) to the 'Knackers Yard' as a figure of speech; please see this link as an example:
History of the Knackers Yard
The term 'taking someone to the knacker's yard' is usually a cliche used to describe someone who is old and is of no used to society, although I have to say, I don't condone the use of this term myself.
There was nothing racist intended by Doozer's comment and I think this has been taken way out of context.
