The månsing language was used by travelling salesmen: Knallar. A group who circumvented laws for sales during the 16th century based on their origin and then became a group based around selling stuff on local temporary markets.
From that created language we have expressions and words (often seen as slang) for for example "to steal" ("sno") to get angry at someone ("lacka")
A fascinating detail is that like with Romani, words where often of non-appropriate things. Theft, body parts etc
