Thieves' cant (also known as thieves' argot, rogues' cant, or peddler's French) is a cant, cryptolect, or argot which was formerly used by thieves, beggars, and hustlers of various kinds in Great Britain and to a lesser extent in other English-speaking countries. It is now mostly obsolete and used in literature and fantasy role-playing, although individual terms continue to be used in the criminal subcultures of Britain and the United States.

  • Le mot jobelin servait au départ à désigner des individus jugés « fous » ou « niais ». Ce n'est que dans la seconde moitié du XVe siècle qu'il est attesté avec le sens « Baragouin, jargon, argot, langage à l’aide duquel on attrape les jobards », selon la définition donnée par Francisque-Michel en 1856.
