whispers

Things that are dangerous to talk about, information normally uttered in hushed tones. "To stare at the whispers" means to eavesdrop.

Bar that! Whispers like that will get you killed if someone overhears you!

barkle

Nonsense, or something that would be laughably passed off as such. Meaningless babble of those who do belong to a cult or political faction. A circular argument that proves nothing.

That berk is full of barkle, his arguments go nowhere and take the long way to get there...

bubber

A drunk, especially one who's fallen on hard times. A wino or junkie.

Cony-catcher

Any con-man, trickster, pimp, or thief looking for an innocent mark, or "cony", to trick.

That cony-catcher is just waiting for a rube to shakedown.

bub

Booze, wine or ale -- usually cheap and barely drinkable.

Don't go to that club's party, all they serve is cheap bub.

basher

A neutral term for a person, but connoting someone tough and a bit dangerous. A thug or gangster.

Watch out for that basher, he was an Army ranger.
