: : What is meant by the phrase "gypsy's warning"?

: The only gypsy warning that I'm familiar with is the one in "The Wolf Man," a 1941 movie. See http://rhs.jack.k12.wv.us/classic/feature/wolfman/wolfsb1.htm

gypsy's/gipsy's warning n.1 [mid-19C+] no warning at all. [neg. stereotyping]
gypsy's/gipsy's warning n.2 [mid-19C+] morning. [Rhy. sl.]
