Noozed is defined as:
Married, hanged.
1811 Dictionary of the Vulgar Tongue by Francis Grose
I’m not sure if it means married OR hanged or married AND hanged. Either sounds dangerous and deadly.
“Says the species that kill their males.”
We don’t kill them! They just have a shorter life span, typically a few weeks. Although I was just reading an article that believes there is a link between “male lifespan to mating systems”.
“In other words, getting noozed effects the life span of a male ant?”
I suppose you could say that.

Young thieves or pickpockets.

This cant term could describe a few of my humanoid’s adorable cousins. When one was five the natty lad tried to take his auntie’s pillow. Please he begged adorably when caught and it worked too!
“See I was thinking that all ants were natty lads at a picnic.”

Odd-come-shortlys is defined as:
I’ll do it one of these odd-come-shortly’s; I will do it some time or another.

Edit: Thankfully, Barby’s confused huh? in the comments below caused HT to reread this post and she too said huh? at the rather confusing jumble of words. Now it should only be a jumble of words.
Out at Heels or Out at Elbows is defined as:
In declining circumstances.
