译者:Sunnix
====================================
ADDLE-COVE - 称呼别人为白痴时常用的叫法,例句 "Did you hear what that addle-coved wizard wanted us to do?", 也可以作名词使用: "He's an addle-cove!" 。

ANTHILL - 城市或市镇 。

BIRDCAGE - 牢房,监狱,或是任何相当于此的地方。

BLINDS - 迷宫中的死路,也指任何不可能的事情或是无可救药的。例如 "He'll hit the blinds if he tries lying to the factol."

BLOOD - 专家,智者或是任何领域的老鸟。一个角斗士冠军可以是一个 blood, 一个强大的巫师也可以是blood.称呼某人为blood是对其特别尊敬的一种表示 。

BOB - 欺骗他人的手法,所骗取的东西可以是现金,尊重或是信任。印记城中善良的向导会在一个家伙被骗时上前警告他。盗贼们则常常夸耀自己 "bobbed a leatherhead on th
e street."

BONE-BOX - 嘴,得名于其中的牙齿,獠牙或其他之类的。 "Stop rattling your bone-box,"是告诉一个笨蛋停止恐吓或是吹牛。

BOX - 生活于印记城中的魔塚游荡者。

BRAIN-BOX - 这句俚语是指某个家伙的脑子还没有开窍。 "Go soak your brain-box,"是句常见的成语,而 "He banged his fool brain-box on it" 是指那个白痴总算想到了点子上(虽然是很明显的事)。

BUB - 烈酒,红酒或是麦酒,总之就是指便宜的劣酒。

BUBBER - 一个醉鬼,尤指当其身陷困境之时。 从大多数市民那里Bubbers都得不到任何同情。

BURG - 任何在规模上和思想上低于印记城的城市。至少这是从印记城居民的角度而言,其他人不一定这么认为。

CONIES -  cony-catchers的受害者

CONY-CATCHERS - 罪犯,骗子,或是寻找目标下手的盗贼。.

CROSS-TRADE - 盗窃行为或是任何非法的,见不得人的交易。

CUTTER - 对于其他人的一种普通称呼,不限男女,由于这种称呼带有一些亲切的意味,所以比称呼别人berk要好得多。

GHOST - 通过星界咒语拜访诸位面的主位面佬。由于这种旅行方式对主位面佬而言,不用让自己的物质形体冒这个险,位面生物通常认为这是一种怯懦和讨厌的家伙 (这些主位面佬架子摆的真是大,居然不肯亲自拜访).  "cord babies"这个词也有同样的意思,但不常使用。

GIVE 'EM THE LAUGH - 从某人的追杀中逃脱,逍遥法外。洗劫一个塔纳利恶魔而又不被其抓住就是 giving it the laugh.

GREAT ROAD - 散布于外层位面之间,永久性的,总是处于激活状态的一系列传送门。 尽管这些传送门如此分散,以至于据说要花上几辈子时间才能将其走上一遍,但The Great Road 确实将所有的外层位面联在了一起,少数传送门之间有路相通,但大多数传送门之间没有任何物质联系。

GULLY -一个准受害者,可怜的家伙。

HIGH-UP - 强大的。这可以指一个咒语,地位或任何在可衡量范围内充满着力量的事物 。也可以是一个有权有势的人,比如说,派系长老就是 high-ups。
