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!!!!

A book.
A good one.
It’s actually a duology. Dance of thieves and Vow of thieves. A YA fantasy with queendoms and kingdoms. With sneaky and overpowering rulers with wavering trust and loyalties all trying to do anything to specifically help them and/or their kingdom/queendom/dynasty. And all of this adds to the plot.
The books follows Kazi and Jase. The two love interests and switch between POVs throughout the book. It’s an enemies to lovers trope and consists of betrayal with it . It’s amazing. Go read it
