New & Old Planar Cant Terms

[Samloyal23]

I'm looking to expand the Cant vocabulary. In addition to the terms published in the original supplements and the ones currently listed in the Mimir site (which as I recall also had a list of terms cut from the dictionary for space reasons that I would like to know the meaning of) are their any lists of new terms out there?

I'm rather fond of Devorn's Handy Guide to the Sigil Cant. Of course, it was written by a Xaositect, so take it with a grain of salt (or better yet, give it to a Clueless and watch the mayhem).

Incidentally, one of my roommates calls money "jink" in real life. It's quite amusing.

Demiurge out.

I've had to catch myself from letting Shadowrun slang terms slip into my Planescape campaign, and likewise.

*chuckle*

Most of the Sigilian Cant (or maybe all of it) is nothing more than real life European slang. I don't know how far back the slang dates and I don't think anyone really uses much of it these days. I'm sure you can even find a lot of the words defined on dictionary.com or any other dictionary.

Try finding a book of slang from many types of cultures. Then just incorporate it into your game. You're players may not even realize it's real slang.

Has anyone added to the Cant over the years? What slang terms have you created for your campaigns?
