P "professions thnl it necessary to discuss

tirH ofMOrt. lias made its slung rather com
intolligilile. Gamblers slang, too,
j .. h.cii made familiar to every one through
, tiewsiiapers. Thieves’ slang, however,
< not so gciicrallv understood, for the thief,
>ui ii, desires'to be unknown, and his
is only effective among his confreres.
Vhc old talk of the thieves is not so generally
lUd as it used to be. lu fact, slang- among
t'ireves of eminence in their profession has
<;iw l out almost completely, tor the reason
fiat talking slang was soon found to be a
jri-.-vis of attracting attention—a very unde
niable thing to this gentry. Among the
; fry the use of slang still prevails, but
the meaning of terms changes more rapidly
tmn it used to. Time was when a member
pT the crooked fraternity could rattle off
live or six sentences entirely unintelligible,
„,,,} detective's conversation was a marvel
pf mysterious meaning. Slang originating
with the thieves has passed now to the news
boys and young roughs, who use it almost
constantly. Some of it passes into use among
letter informed people, hut not much, and
too greater part of the “lingo” in use to-day
amo ng thieves is as unintelligible to an hon -
est man as if it was so much Hottentot. The
detectives, if possible, use more slang than
a thief, and they keep up with all the addi
t oils to the rogues 1 lexicon, for the reason
that it is part of a detective’s pride to un
derstand the talk, while the thief uses his
slang only to convey his ideas sub rosa to
iik partners, and not as a linguistic acquire-
ment.
The use of slang by a detective was laugha
bly illustrated not long ago at the four
courts, when one of the local lynxes was.
out on the witness spind to testify as to
the arrest of the defendant. After de
claring that the prisoner had several more
or less weird ana incomprehensible aliases
and was a bad man, the prosecuting attor
| ney asked:
••How did you come to arrest him?’ 1
“Well,” replied the detective, “I was go
ing down Broadway, and just in front I
spied ‘his nobs.’ I ‘piped’ him awhile, and
then he got his ‘lamps’ on me and ‘screwed
bis nut' and ‘lammed.’”
The foreman of the jury was just on the
point of calling for an interpreter when the
lawyer translated the detective’s testimony,
explaining that “his nobs” was defendant,
that “piping” was watching, “lamps”
meant eyes, and that when the man
“screwed his nut and lammed” he started to
run away.
The explanation of a case by a detective,
if printed in his language, would to the gen
eral reader look like a sample of the new
language which some crank in Europe has
invented for universal use. In the language
of the thieves all men who violate the laws
of meum and team, whether by force, fraud
or ingenuity, are “crooks,” but “crooks”
are subdivided into other classes. The liank
burglar is a “gopher,” and “dip,” “wire,”
“tool," are the names for a pickpocket. A
“moll wire” is one who robs women only,
and a very slangy crook might in a moment
of slang-slinging enthusiasm substitute for
the term another, “moll buzzer.” A woman
is a “moll,” while a boy is always a “kid.”
If the burglar goes by himself he is a “sin
glefooter. A “stall” is one who watches
while n burglar works or engages the atten
tion of victims while pickpockets are at
work. A man or an institution selected to
he robbed or victimized is a “mark;” a
highwayman is a “string-arm man” and the
act of highway robliery is “holding up.”
“Bloke" is a common term originally mean
ing a party to be robbed, but now used as a
kind of reproachful term signifying that a
party is “no good.” The confidence man is
a “eon. man.” If he plays three-card monte
be is a “monte spieler,” and, as. the game
requires more than one to make it work, the
crowd is tennis 1 a “monte mob.” The vic
tim of the confidence man is a “mark” or a
“guv,” and if he be an old man he is re
spectfully alluded to as a “happy guy.” If
be falls into the tr ap easily he is “dead sure
to lose his stuff,” stuff being the crooks’
term for the root of all evil. Stolen prop
erty is “swag.’’ When it is hidden it be
romes “plant.” When taken from its hid
ing place the act is called “raising the
plant.” A smart person Is “fly.” If a thief
is smart he receives credit therefor in being
termed “a dead fly mug.” The detective
would say “he is people he is,” or “he’s
smooth people.” When a crook is not doing
jiiueh he is having “tough leather,” or
tough chewing.” When lie is busily en
gaged he is “getting in his graft” or
grafting.”
1 he confidence man when at work is
"copping off stuff.” If he has much trouble
in getting the money it is “hard,” if not
• asy money. ’ To a burglar the operation
i getting into a safe is “cracking the box.”
to the pickpocket a handkerchief is a
i.T lpe ’„ a " a “super,” the chain a
slang, a gold chain “red,” a silver one
"lute,” Gold is or used to bo “ridge.” All
unsophisticated man is a “gray.” A liorson
"■no knows crooks and their wuys is ‘‘dead
un. and his posting possible victims is call
; knocking.” When a thief is captured
is ‘pinched” or “collared,” if by a detee
i , e ’ n “fly;” >f by a common policeman,
.I natty. If iu s victim identifies the
tuiot that worthy declares that the “l.loko”
npiKsi to him. When in jail he’s in
lmck or in the “cooler,” and if lie newts a
lawyer he employs a “mouthpiece.” The
judge is tile “beak,” and if the crook is
convicted ho is “settled,” his term desig
nated hs “time,” being divided into
' fetches instead of years and “moons”
instead of months. “Daylight” means lib
, y nll'T imprisonment, and when lie
s|‘aks ol Ins incarceration the crook alludes
m,having, “done his bit” “over ihcrond."
„ “ stiff” means telling u lie; putting

for sometliing like their real value. When
the thief gets Ills “bit,” that is, his share of
tin* “swag," stolen property, he generally
puts it, in “sparks;" if he doesn’t get his
“bit” he is “done our of it," or “put in tho
hole.” When he has his “bit” he is “flying
high," hut his soaring may put the detec
tives “on to him,” and they promptly “hip”
or “pinch" him, und lu then enjoys a “fall.”
Then he condemns himself for a “sucker.”
or worse still, a “chump,” and kicks himself
when he remembers the crooks’ motto that
“There’s a sucker born everyday in the year,”
and he’s one of them. Honest people are
“straight,” but the thief Ivelieves that every
body wants to make money, and that every
one is “out of the stuff.” This being the
case, he’s out for it, too, and lie is an “easy
money man.” Detectives, lie declares, don’t
hesitate to “shake down" a thief who has
any money, and “give him hours” to "skip”
out of town that he may not tell of it.
Money is either “gix!,”' or “queer,” or
“coney.” A counterfeiter is a “coney man”
or “koniacker;" he has men who sell it, and
they are “dealers;” those who circulate it
“shove the queer.” A “headworker” plans
criminal operations, the “rappel” encour
ages the “sucker” (victim) to put his money
into fraudtilent schemes, and the “steerer"
picks up men on the street and leads them
to places where they can get “skinned.”
The victim’s pocketbook is his “leather,”
and though the crook who “nicks” the
“sucker's” “leather” steals but trash, he
who would steal his “monekas” steals that
which is dearer to him than life itself. This
is a crook’s paraphrase of a famous Shak
sperean passage. When the victim loses his
money he is generally very much excited,
and tries to get it back, which operation is
indicated by declaring that he came “belly
aching” after it.
The chief person of any assemblage is the
“main guy,” or perhaps the “head finger.”
The “office" is a warning of anv kind to
look out,. It used to be a kind of clearing of
the throat to spit, but that was worn out. It
would attract a thief’s attention almost any
time. A cough will do as well. When the
“office” is given and answered, then the
one giving' it, knows that the other is
“tumbled, and that someone is “onto
them." If he doesn’t tumble he is liable to
get “sloughed up"—i. e., put in prison
“Cheese” means stop. “Cheese patter,”
stop talking. “Cheese weeden” or “nixey
weeden” stop talking slang. “Patter flash”
was the old time for talking slang, but it
has died out. The burglars’ tools are “nip
jiers,” or “tongs,” or “outsiders” for open
ing doors from the outside, the “jimmy,” a
kind of bar when long or chisel when short,
to pry open “jiggers." doors or
“glazes," windows, or a “peter” trunk.
The officer who goes with crooks to get
their secrete is a “pigeon,” but doesn’t
generally “front up” until long after
the “gang has been pinched” and they
are brought up to “tully” (trial). Under
the circumstances the best defense is to
claim that the defective is “jobbing” them,
that is swearing their liberty or life away.
The warden of the penitentiary is a “head
screw,” and the others are subordinate
“screws.” Most thieves believe that they
wouldn’t have been caught if they had been
alone in jobs or if they hadn’t been associat
ing with some unlucky “Jonah,” an appli
cation of a biblical incident in a rather un
expected place, for thieves don’t often at
tend the “gospel mills,” where the Bible is
expounded by the “patter coves” or “steeple
guys." It is written that all men shall die,
hut the “crook” does not. He “croaks” or gets
“crooked” (killed), and after his “stiff” has
been duly waked he is taken out and
“planted” by his “pals," who afterward
speak of hini, if regretfully, as engaged in
the cheerful and beneficial occupation of
“pushing clouds,” or, if he was unpopular,
as “doing his long time.” Others have a
worse fate still. They become “buggy” and
are sent to the “bug house” (insane asylum).
Others “double up” (get married) and
“square it” (reform), but they are only
about 4 per cent.
The samples above are but a few. A
large book, indeed, would be a complete
slang dictionary. Several of these have
been published at various times, and those
who desire to learn how to talk “under
cover” can pursue these studies further by
perusing one of those valuable volumes.
