And indeed something of the same sort may be noticed in all mysterious associations which are beyond the pale of the law. * It has struck me that the German gipsies, though they thoroughly understand the word cale, do not care to be called by that name. Among themselves they always use the designation Romane tchave. Some months ago, I paid a visit to a gipsy tribe in the Vosges country.
Monsieur Vidocq calls a horse gres this again is a gipsy word gras, gre, graste, and gris. Add to this the word romanichel, by which the gipsies are described in Parisian slang. This is a corruption of romane tchave "gipsy lads." But a piece of etymology of which I am really proud is that of the word frimousse, "face," "countenance" a word which every schoolboy uses, or did use, in my time.
