Not to mention what Gangsta Rap does to a language...

You have no idea how much the concept of "Ork Culture and Ork language as SR substitute for Gangsta Rap speak and culture" irritated the hell out of me  Still does.  Ahh well.

Why do something original when you can just steal it?

Personally, I'm still a major fan of Trog Rock.

It's likely that with the ever increasing immersion of the web and so much time passing (80 years from the 90's) that 'pure' languages, or even something that we would recognize, would have mutated wildly and really only exist in academia and maybe 3rd world countries that have limited communication (unless a dictator started a purist movement)...

When I can't sleep I like to ponder about how some things would really work and see what everyone else can put into my wild meanderings.  I don't hold SR at fault with the ideas that don't really hold up.  A bunch of gamers got together and made a universe that they thought would be fun to play in and they didn't have all the expertise to completely flesh out and eliminate all the inconsistencies.  It turns out that they made an awesome place to drop by and spend some time with friends.  Perhaps that's all that counts as far as SR is concerned.

*holds up hand like a kid wanting permission to ask a question*

Is there, somewhere in this big 'ol internet of ours, a reference sheet of some kind or lexicon of common slang words for Shadowrun?  I mean besides the classic ones like frag, drek, slot, geek and so on.  Maybe some common words and sentences in some of the major languages of the world, just to add a bit of cosmopoticism flair to my game?

Thanks.

This one on CGL's site, though it's geared towards SR1-3 (it still has "decker" in it). I've seen people link to others, so I'm sure they'll be along eventually to point you to something more up to date.
