Boxes and pieces, in

Dead. This comes from either being in a coffin, or the obvious alternative.

Blek

Sometimes spelled "blex". In polite company, faeces. Also dirt, slime, sewage, or any other disgusting smelly material.

"You might want to scrape your boots, it looks like you've stepped in a pile o' blek."

Apple-Chaser

Someone willing to do anything, no matter how degrading, for any amount of money; named for the "road apples" left behind by ponies in rural town streets.

That apple-chaser has been climbing into garbage bins to collect cans for recycling. He's do anything for to put jink in his coin-purse.

Addle-Cove

A rather unfriendly way to call someone an idiot.

That addle-coved barkeep threw me out of the Styx Oarsman just for lighting a torch!" Also a noun, as in "He's an addle-cove!"

Adam

A partner-in-crime. An accomplice.

I would have got scragged by the cops, but my Adam had our getaway car running when I robbed the jewelry store, so I got away unscathed.

Feeding the crows

Killing for hire. Working as a hitman.

"I've just got a job feeding the crows for Micky the Loan Shark. Seems he needs an example made of some berks."
