Carny
Carny, also spelled carnie, is a slang term used in North America for a Traveling carnival employee, and the language they use, particularly when the employee runs a "joint" (booth), "grab joint" (food stand), game or ride (i.e. a "ride jock" or "ride operator") at a carnival, boardwalk or amusement park. The term "showie" is used synonymously in Australia.
