''B'hoy'' and ''g'hal'' (meant to evoke an Irish pronunciation of ''boy'' and ''gal'', respectively)〔Sante, ''Low Life'', 77.〕 were the prevailing slang words used to describe the young men and women of the rough-and-tumble working class culture of Lower Manhattan in the late 1840s and into the period of the American Civil War. They spoke a slang, with phrases such as "Hi-hi," "Lam him" and "Cheese it".〔Strong 527 note 8.〕
