Would the term jargon be helpful here?
Jargon: special words, expressions, and/or specialized definitions that are used by a particular profession or group and are (or can be) difficult for others to understand. Ex: medical jargon, legal jargon, computer jargon. |

Yes, generally they refer to similar things but 'jargon' has a somewhat different nuance than "terms of art." I think that's because 'jargon' is a lot broader and includes slang used by any particular group, not just among professionals, artists, etc. (Teen-age jargon, gamblers' jargon, burglars' jargon) Also, the phrase "terms of art" has a very specific legal meaning as well, whereas 'jargon' does not. Nor is "terms of art" a synonym for 'slang.'

Unfortunately that specific desired meaning is buried one level down from common discourse, and within a different specialized field than mentalism. In any case, "mentalists' jargon" could be a useful term. Or not! |

Actually is an academic term that found its way into the law. But it doesn't matter. If you prefer "jargon" that's fine with me. The point is that in many respects we have our own language. And it can sometimes be difficult to communicate with someone who doesn't understand it.
"Legal jargon" is sometimes called "legalese." So "mentalese" might work, too. |

I AM A REAL PSYCHIC You can tell because I use flowers and emoticons to drive home my points. Another giveaway is that I suggest everyone is Mike Kempner. When secretly, I might really be Mike Kempner and like Fight Club I am trolling myself. Whoops! SPOILERS!!!!!!!! Ad hominem, ad hominem, ad hominem. Minus ten points!! Pay me my million dollars! I would argue it out of you anyway no matter how thoroughly you proved I wasn't psychic because I am and I just proved it!!! :sun: Also, how dare you suggest Luke Jermay's little old lady is SCUM!!!! :clownonball: Mods!! Someone makes about as much as me - I demand their post be removed!! |

Its pretty clear what a psychic is in general terms and is what is usually faked by at least some mentalists. In fact mentalism is specialist skill that fakes mental abilities. The inside jargon may have its own "secret" meanings but the subjects they intend to fake have general universal meanings. The strange thing is when it comes to hypnosis it actually impedes the evolution of the field it holds it back when silly arguments arise around whether hypnosis or trance exists. And all because everyone has their own definition inside their head that they argue over. How can you argue or debate something if everyone is using their own personal language? Even esoteric meanings like gaff or billet have a generally accepted meaning within the communities that use them. |

Slim does not answer questions. He either dodges them completely or intentionally misinterprets them and then answers his own misinterpretations.

Morgaine- I think you missed a in the first line. Without it, the sentence has an entirely different meaning in Slimland.
