Old Shoe good luck

gapeseed anything that makes people stop, look, or listen

glibe writing

Old Poger the Devil

made me swim for my swag cheated me of my share

lenten starving

panny home

pap-lap baby

tip us a rag give us a dollar

rooked cheated

curlers who sweat the bag swindlers who put gold pieces into a bag, shake them, and gather the dust

bilked cheated

burners gamblers who prey on bumpkins

goose-cap fool

square it get one’s living honestly

turn stag become an informer

kinchin child

scran food

flatter-trap mouth

kimbaw beaten

my regulars my share

scrapp a planned act of roguery

heave peters off a drag steal boxes off a wagon

squeaker child

whindle moan

tap steal

rum-bit cheated

coves people

lace beat

snap arrest
