The Dialect of Lazarus- "Speaking Lazarese"

[Professor Moret]

As a man with an interest in the growth and evolution of language I am writing this article about the slow but sure creation of "Lazarese". A dialect created and spoken solely by the citizens within the Colonies walls. In the interest of both catalouging this phenomenon from start to finish, and to help the newly-hatched with terms they might otherwise be unfamiliar with I will be making a list of terms commonly used throughout the colony along with their associated definition. As an aside I will mention that despite my studiousness I am only one man, and if any other member of the colony wishes to add to the list please do so. Hopefully one day this log will one day serve to document a cultural occurence never before completely understood. So with that, let us begin.

A Com- A colloquialism for a communication device. Also "to com" someone means to either call them via communication device or to communicate with them by using one's nueral communication device.
Bankin- To make or recieve credits. Can also be used to me saving ones credits, i.e. "I've been bankin for a while now"
Check-Up- To go to a medical treatment station to heal oneself
Cred- A shortening of the word "Credits"
Threads- Ones clothing or apparel
The Green- Colloquialism for the wilderness areas

K- A thousand credits
Greensuit- The official Greenskin uniform. In addition any Greenskins can refer to his green outfit as his "Greensuit"
Max Shields- To turn ones shielding device to 100%
Drop Shields- To turn ones shielding device to 0%
Deep-Fry- To kill or seriously harm through use of a pulse rifle. Derived from the fact that a target hit with a pulse rifle tends to "sizzle"
'Skins- A shortening of the title "Greenskin". Often used in conversation as a means of simplification
The Good Doctor- A title referring to Dr. Phibes. Presumably given to him because he is the only doctor to pay the newly-hatched for their services.
