Criminal Glossary (Pinkertons)
According to the Crime Library the following list of definitions was released by the Pinkerton National Detective Agency sometime in the 1880's.
    • Bull an officer (of the law)
    • Cannon (or Rod) revolver
    • Chip money drawer (in a bank)
    • Dangler express train
    • Ditched arrested
    • Dump jail (or boarding house)
    • Gay Cat one who cases banks and towns for future jobs
    • Jimmying a bull shooting an officer
    • Mouthpiece lawyer
    • Oil (or Soup) nitroglycerine (used to open many a bank vault)
    • Rattler freight train
    • Settled sentenced to prison
    • White Liner alcoholic
    • Yegg (or John Yegg) bandit chief
What a difference 120 years makes. Could these be any more homoerotic?
