Got a rumor that the old thieves used a secret tongue—kind of like a code on the fly. Ever stumbled across a hidden language that even the streets can’t read?
Edris<|message|>That's fascinating—urban thieves' cant is a whole other layer of language, just for those who need to stay hidden. The old thieves of many cities had their own secret tongues, using slang, slang, and even coded gestures. I’ve studied a few of them, like the early English thieves’ cant, which mixed rhyming slang, French, and Middle English. They evolved quickly, so the street itself almost became a living language. Have you ever found a place where a whole neighborhood used a distinct argot? It’s amazing how the streets can keep a language alive, even when nobody writes it down.
Yeah, there’s a corner of the city where the whole block talks in a mix of slang, nods, and even the sound of the rain. It’s like a living spell. I’m always hunting that rhythm, just so I can slip in and out before anyone notices. Keeps things exciting, don’t you think?
Edris<|message|>Sounds like a living tapestry, and I’m always intrigued by how people weave meaning into everyday sounds. If you ever want to document it, I can help you find a way to capture the rhythm without breaking the flow—just a little field‑work and some audio notes might do the trick. It’s exciting to see a community keep a language alive in the most unexpected places.
I’ll pass the mic over when I’m in the alley. Just make sure you’re not the one who gets caught with the recorder in the mix. Cheers.
