I meant it as in 'normies', per the carny origin (as used in Ghostbusters II, IIRC)
@wiccat @starbreaker @Stonekettle @odanu
ah! I misremembered -- not carny, con jobs. the lingo of con jobs referred to people not in on the con (and not being TAKEN by the con) as 'straights', unless I'm forgetting.
or misremembering yet again.
it's possible. my brain is very, very bad at a lot of things requiring accuracy.
@sydneyfalk @starbreaker @Stonekettle @odanu ... ["poker face"]... I wouldn't know anything about that. Nope, that's my story and I'm sticking to it.
@sydneyfalk @starbreaker @Stonekettle @odanu That's my bad then. Back in the day, we just called them 'rubes'.
