Ocean's Twelve Question - no spoilers
I have been looking for a glossary of terms that they used for the types of heists there are, but I can't seem to find the right key words to put into google.

I remember they called one "Baby Jane" and another "Lookie Loo", as well as "Lookie Loo with a Bun in the Oven", and about a dozen others I can't remember, and I wonder: where did they get these names? Are they real? Are they real scenarios?

I suppose other terms would be "Bag Man" and "Grease Man" and, I don't know, "Face Man".

Anybody have any idea where I might find out that kind of thing? I can't seem to find histories of true heists and famous jewel thieves.

There's got to be something out there. It's so fascinating.

thanks

1. They don't mean much
In the first film, they'd say things like: "A Boesky, a Jim Brown, a Miss Daisy, two Jethros, a Leon Spinx, not to mention the biggest Ella Fitzgerald ever."

In the commentary track, it was admitted they made most of it up.
