Subject: (A Vocabulary of) Criminal Slang IN THE HOLDING PEN!

It's done.

It's in the Holding Pen, but if there is significant interest, I'll upload it and drop the links.

The work is 110 years old (1915) and was released to PG a day or two ago, I jumped on it. So it's pretty fresh.

It'll be an interesting read for the word nerds, but it may be of use to those writing a story for that period of time. Or someone seeking to understand that vernacular.

While it's not smoking-related, Tobacco does get the odd mention, Opium gets several. Ah, better days.

What we need is a dictionary of our own, if anyone wants to tackle that. I'd help.

PG likely has a bunch of obscure dictionaries, so I might have a look around.

Nick
