I’m lucky enough to be playing in a Stars Without Number game in a few weeks’ time. I am trying to create a character whose ancient history is from London or who is trying to resurrect or replicate their version of slang from it. Basically I would like your ideas for a space slang. I know the Belter Creole/Patois from Expanse is a good place to look but creating something original would be great. I don’t need a whole language, just maybe a dozen words and phrases to get the feels. It can be rhyming slang or not. Appreciate any thoughts. But also some thoughts of speech and language specialists as well.
Some words/phrases I might need to find are alternatives for:
Swear Word 1
Swear Word 2
Money
Police
Weapons
Steal
Bad Juju (luck)
Hide
Sleep
Food & Drink
The coast is clear
Don’t mess with me
Very (added to other words)
Hello
Goodbye
Friend/Buddy/Mate
Sweet/Great/Nice/Top Doller/Excellent!
We are in deep s*^t
Millitary/Army
And…Anything else you might think useful.
Many thanks for your time.
