What slang words are used in Oliver Twist?
I happened to be reading this novel. Let me give you some reference answers.

One of the thieves said ... if I give you an order to leave, I can only go up and down, and I will never go straight ahead. "Hey, haven't you been to the treadmill? "

Only can't get up: refers to hanging, which refers to the expert code of thieves.

Treadmill: refers to hard labor, used to punish prisoners.

"What else can it be except the one that occupies a very small area and is built in a stone urn?"

Stone urn: a hidden prison

"My own water level is not high, that's all. . . . "

The water level is not high: the hands are not generous.

"Where did he come from?"

"Greenland. Is Ferguson upstairs? "

Greenland: English transliteration, meaning green, green also means tender, which is used to imply that Oliver is a novice and has never done their business.
