Talking Carney...
What, exactly, is "Carney" talk? I mean, I know WHAT it is, but how are sentences and words structured and what-not? And do any current-day wrestlers still use it? I've heard that Terry Funk was/is virtually fluent in it, but does anyone still use it?

I'm not quite sure what Carny talk sounds like, but I've always imagined it sounds a lot like the Pikey's from "Snatch."
As far as someone who uses it, I believe Zach Gowen can (I'm infering this from one of Jimmy Jacobs' livejournal entries), and possibly Jimmy Jacobs too. |

So I suppose it's just a slang-type of thing.

I think this is more along the lines of what you're looking for.
