Like Mats pointed out, slang terms may have several interpretations, and we may get them wrong since English is not our native language. Using non-slang terms for class names may be boring, but it also means less ambiguity which can only be a good thing for game rules. Ganger could be an acceptable compromise. While the class may fit Marv, he is certainly not a gang member, so the name is not perfect. If there is an Urban Ranger (boring but official name), why not use the equally boring name Urban Barbarian? --[[User:Urban Blom (Hastur)|Urban Blom]]
