cony

A generally naive, unsophisticated person. Someone easily robbed or conned out of money. A victim of cony-catchers.

Look at that cony, he looks like he just got of the bus from Nowhere, he'll be conned out of his shirt and shoes by the end of the day...

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.

basher

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

brain-box

This refers to a person's head, usually in a crude or uncomplimentary way. A berk's noggin or (rarely) a desktop computer's tower.

"Go soak your brain-box" is a suggestion to go drown yourself in a bucket. "He banged his brain-box on it" means a berk finally figured something obvious out.

chant

An expression that means news, local gossip, the facts, the mood in the air. Chant is whatever everyone is talking about right now.

I went to the pub around the corner and asked the bartender for the latest chant going around the neighbourhood...
