Also, 'Stick-jock' is the term for fighters, especially heavy fighters.

Another AEthelmearcian! Well met and welcome, sir! I live in the BMDL (Pittsburgh, PA).
We use "mundane" to mean anyone and anything non-SCA-related. As far as fighters, heavy fighters are usually just called "heavies" (at least in my group). I've heard others in my barony talk about "boffer" fights, which I assume is kids' (under 14, I believe) fighting, but I'm not 100% sure about that.
Oh, and we use "naked" in reference to being out of garb, as well.
. . . I'm trying really hard to think of anything else, but I can't right now. whee

In the garden of lonely love
I'll wait for you
Till the time will come
When I see you smile
Just for me I'm pretty sure I posted this in another thread, buuuut
Dictionary of SCA Slang
It doesn't have some things in it, and some of the stuff is regional, but otherwise a good read, if only for the humor.
OH
Pennsic Crack/ Cooper's Crack: The chocolate milk sold at the Cooper's store at Pennsic. Love and loss
Embrace the pain
You can't hide your tears in the rain
I'll be there
Just wait my darling

Dragostae Alan the Great LittleGreenGirl erm... Dragon! Dragons are what we call cars up here. We call them Carriages down here in the great Kingdom of Ansteorra. And we call them chariots here in Calontir. That's better than "dragon" in my opinion. Of course, I hear "chariot" in reference to the SCA, and I think of the year the king of the East "rode the short chariot". I'm pretty sure his name was Darius... I know he had a roman persona. Of course, that was the year the eastern king stabbed the king of the middle with the war arrow instead of just breaking it, and that's classic impulse control problems.... love to see his IEP, tehehe. And he did ride a chariot that was in fact shorter than the middle kingdom's king's. Anyone else remember that? Anyway, did you know that in the middle ages, there was actually a word for a wagon designated for transporting people? "Car." neutral

I have had it. It is indeed very rich and chocolatey. I really don't like chocolate at all. The flavor makes me feel ill. I have to take it medicinally once a month.

These are the ones I most often confuse people with.
Biffies = porta-potties. (I grew up in the SCA, I thought this was normal 'cause all of the adults and families aI really hung around were also SCA. xd )
Swishy-poke = Rapier fighting, often considered slightly offensive. heart

one that I recently learned was Archer's Crack = a broken arrow. ^.^ and that's cause of the smell of the cedar(or whatever kind of wood you use) that comes from the broken arrow shaft

heavy weapons swords can be called sticks, or if they are heavier than normal they can be called a club, a large shield is called a warboard. i have drank pennsic crack, and what makes it better is that is is creamier and fresher than normal chocolate milk.
