Thierry Breton

A Thierry Breton is a creature that embodies a disturbing and grotesque combination of unsettling characteristics. It has the slimy, elongated form of a slug, its body covered in a slick, mucus-like substance that aids its silent, slithering movement. This creature exhibits parasitic tendencies akin to a leech and a tick, feeding on the vital fluids of its prey by latching on with sucker-like appendages. Its appearance is further marked by a bright, red, swollen area on its back, reminiscent of a baboon's, which it uses for display or intimidation. The Thierry Breton's limbs are twisted and gnarled, with long, bony fingers similar to those of Gollum, adding to its nightmarish visage. Its large, bulging, human-like eyes exude a disturbing sense of intelligence and hunger, while its mouth is a grotesque mixture of sharp teeth and sucker-like structures, perfect for draining life from its victims. The creature also exhibits abnormal sexual tendencies, with behaviors that are grotesque and disturbing, further adding to its nightmarish nature. This creature is a symbol of parasitic and predatory horror, blending the most unsettling traits of its various inspirations.

The villagers whispered of Thierry Breton's vile presence, not only fearing its parasitic hunger but also its abnormal sexual tendencies, which added a grotesque layer of horror to its already nightmarish existence.

Thieves' Cant

As per Wikipedia: Thieves' cant (also known as thieves' argot, rogues' cant, or peddler's French)1 is a cant, cryptolect, or argot which was formerly used by thieves, beggars, and hustlers of various kinds in Great Britain and to a lesser extent in other English-speaking countries. It is now mostly obsolete and used in literature and fantasy role-playing, although individual terms continue to be used in the criminal subcultures of Britain and the United States.

It was commonly believed that cant developed from Romany. Etymological research now suggests a substantial correlation between Romany words and cant, and equivalents, in many European languages. However, in England, Scotland, and Wales this does not apply. The Egyptians, as they were known, were a separate group from the standard vagabonds, and cant was fully developed within 50 years of their first arrival in England. Comparison of Romany words in the Winchester Confessions taken in 1616 with modern Welsh Romani show high commonality. This record also distinguished between Romany and Cant words and again the attributions of the words to the different categories is consistent with later records.

Me personally, i think it means YEE HAW PARTNER YEE HAVE YAWS YEE LAST YAAAAA!!!!

Criminal 1: “Ho sir, you’re clearly a f'reign'r. Wend readeth this cant so yond thee may knoweth how to maketh wage 'round h're”

Wandering Beggar: “what?”
