zingarofobia
  25

It may be an attempt at ultra-Scouting by gypsyphobia, or perhaps a mistranslation of some foreign text (probably Italian) where it is more common. It would be a "fear of the culture and idiosyncrasy of the gypsies", uniting the name cíngaro or zíngaro ("a way of calling the European gypsy") with the suffix -phobia ("fear, fear"). Of course, it is not a phobia, the word is a mockery of those who fear the gypsies, their customs, their culture; and in many cases it is a mistake by anti-ziganism, which is a racist practice.
