Thieves' Cant

Skill, Thieving

The secret argot shared by rogues, spies and assassins, taught to outsiders only if they are fully trusted.

From the book

Thieves' cant is the secret tongue spoken by most rogues, spies and assassins. Every rogue and corsair can converse in it. Members of the thieving professions will not teach it to an outsider unless they are completely sure that person can be trusted.
