Sorry to be dumb - but can someone tell me the actual "definition" of a "Pav"???  What is a Pav - an Irish traveller?  is it a name/description which is accepted or not ??

Pavee is one of two names that Irish Travellers use to describe themselves, the other being Mincéir, which comes from their cant language, Shelta.
