Several compilations of carnival argot exist: De Belle Starr's Dictionary of Midway Slang: Webster Was a Sucker, published in 1946, and two glossary articles in American Speech, the most recent of which was published in 1966. While reading some of this material was useful as a method of briefing before entering the carnival, this glossary includes only terms that I heard used or that I have reason to believe are in use in the amusement business today. I am indebted to Don Watkins for the recording and definition of many of the terms here
