Description: The Slang Dictionary The compiler scarcely knew what to do with some of the more repulsive of these words — those explanatory of thieving, &c., and which continually occur in the language of low life. Their very existence is a lamentable fact; and the dry, unpoetic way they explain criminal intentions and actions is miserable in the extreme. Crime is an awkward thing to deal with, and, as in the case of our own Legislature, when trying successfully to regulate the punishment, and at the same time provide for the reformation of criminal offenders, he found the matter a singularly difficult one to manage. Slang is generally pithy and amusing, whereas Cant, like our lower orders in their thoughts and actions, is unrelieved by any feeling approaching to the poetic or the refined.
