Each day on Twitter (alien invasion/hangover permitting) we will share a phrase from a fantastic old publication of American slang, used by tramps, hobos, criminals and now you! The use of these words on this site and in everyday situations will then be heartily encouraged! (Brilliant examples of the former may even result in some sort of treat/award/gold star?)
So there you go, it's not just for gossiping, you can actually learn something!
