Carny lingo

Welcometothefair have listed a pretty comprehensive glossary of the language carnies use.

"BABY NEEDS MILK - When carnies see another carny flirting with the townies, they will often go by and say this just to mess up their buddies 'score'.

FAIRBANK - When the agent cheats himself to get the player to bet higher and higher sums.

HANKY-PANK - In the old days it meant a game where a you win a prize everytime. Now it is usually used to apply to any straight game."
