More  candidates exist to replace "gypsy" than the Republicans have  to succeed the current U.S. president.Although both the current president and "gypsy" are performing quite well,  "gypsy" is not constrained by term limits Michael Fuerst      802 N Broadway      Urbana IL 61801      217 239 5844

 Dear callers seeking alternatives to "gypsy":
My sister, Laura, suggested "compass" as an alternate term. I haven't used it yet, but I think it could work well:
1. It has the same number of syllables as the word it's replacing, plus distinct consonant sounds. 2. It's recognizable. 3. It makes thematic sense. Besides being an instrument that describes circles, "compass" also  used to mean "go around something in a circular course." 
Let me know how it goes if you try it!
