Just wondering if you've thought of adding words/terms for other acts of crime. I see things like stealing, or killing, etc...

But perhaps you might think of words for:

Blackmail
Forgery
Shaver (Can't think of the word, but people use to shave the edges off of gold coins to make more).
Scam
Con Artist
Pimp
Prostitution
Meeting (Like mafia type)
Tribute (Like how some crime lords demand a cut of everything that happens in their domain)

I'm kinda tired and gasping at straws atm, but will look up some broader crime/crime related things later.

These are excellent suggestions and I will look into working on these once work permits some free time!

Updated to Version 4!

Added Definitions for:

Con Artist = Fiddler / Playing the Fiddle
Scam = A Song or Tune
Prostitute = Lacetail
Prostitution = Tying his or her Laces
Meeting = Set the Table / To Set the Table
Matchmaker/Pimp = Cardinal/Baron
Fake / Counterfeit = Has Cursemarks
Torture = Tickle his or her Ribs
Papers = Maps


Thank you to Alexsia for the ideas! I will go back through the guide later and mark additions that were request by other people with poster names to give due credit.

At this point I may be more careful about expanding the Cant too largely in order to keep it easy to use. However, please don't let that deter anyone from contributing. If there are problematic words or areas where the Cant can use improvement please let me know :)

I went ahead and updated several definitions to credit several wonderful members of the community who have given some good feedback as to what words to add in order to improve the Cant. Thank you for the contributions!

A friendly bump. I think this is amazing. I have it book marked, and I've been takin' it all in. I'd love to see people using this more often!
