Ceramic frogs and presunto/jamón slices in your wallet is the ultimate combo.
In my house I like to throw in some garlic to the mix too, doesn’t help to keep the gypsis away if the vampires still show up. We are a very modern nation
For medieval problems medieval solutions.
the older generations of gypsies are afraid of it
Yo is that edible? Asking for a friend.
Now your store will be infested by french people instead.
Jokes aside, what is the history behind the frogs?
Well… if it works it works
Joao summoned Gambuntas children as protection.
Im on my way yo amazon as we speak time for progrom
We should put a lot of this things arround the borders of Romania maybe cigans will be afraid to come back and will remain in the UK for ever.
This will lead to the next “frogs are a racist dog-whistle” headlines.
pretty sure it’s the Romas who are still living in the 1500s
There’s a saying in Portugal along the lines of “I’m not racist but fuck the gypsies”.
An aunt of mine did something similar with an owl made of dirt (not sure how to say « terre cuite » in English)
Worked well according to her.
Wait….does this work?
A van of gypsies stole the fuel tank of a motorcycle I had parked in the street (they stole the exhaust a few days prior). If I had known, I would have simply placed a ceramic frog on the bike.
Does it work?
Do not put a curse on me gypsy!
Ancient problems require ancient solutions
Galo de Barcelos supremacy under threat.
It’s a tradeoff with attracting the French tho
But the question is, does it work?
Not just “in a northern town”, but you can see it all over the country – you just have to go to more traditional shops in all towns (MAYBE apart from Lisbon and Porto)
BRB putting a ring of ceramic frogs around my local pikey site
Funny, I use an SG550
I live in the North of Portugal and some months ago me and my mother went to a big hardware store and there was absolutely no decoration in the entrance of the store, exept for a large procelain toad which was clearly intended to keep the gypsies away. Turns out my sjw mom made a formal complaint and called the police on the store for having a “racist” symbol in the entrance of the store. The police just laughed at her basically. It made me proud to be Portuguese. If any frenchie wants to know where it is, next time you are in Portugal visiting your relatives, go to Armazens Reis in Viseu. You are welcome
Some pubs/restaurants here used to have a sign “dish of the day: horse roulade” to keep them away. They didn’t have horse on the menu.
Not only shop keepers. It’s not unusual to see them at house front yards
If it works it works you know
In the French countryside we use buckshots filled with tungsten carbide pellets as talismans to scare the gypsies away
It usually works but maybe we should try frog shaped ceramic slugs ?

Incorrect. Must be a toad, not a frog. And here is an actual example of someone who did this: [https://sol-sapo-pt.translate.goog/2013/06/11/sapos-o-tabu-da-etnia-cigana/?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-US&_x_tr_pto=wapp](https://sol-sapo-pt.translate.goog/2013/06/11/sapos-o-tabu-da-etnia-cigana/?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-US&_x_tr_pto=wapp)
Here’s more black magic, to keep the Dutch away:
