The Dictionary of the Vulgar Tongue: A Dictionary of Buckish Slang, University Wit, and Pickpocket Eloquence – With Accompanying Facts, Free Audio Links and Illustrations. - Softcover

WARNING: This book was written over two hundred years ago, so certain words, which we frown upon today, are littered throughout. Not for those easily offended. The A to Z Dictionary of the Vulgar Tongue is truly the Profanisaurus of the 19th century. The book was originally intended as a guide to the street slang for the upper-class men, to give them some insight into the crass language of the street. The book is cram-packed with thousands of words and derivations. Read the insults Georgians and early Victorians used on a daily basis. Examples of what to expect: SHITING THROUGH THE TEETH. Vomiting. Hark ye, friend, have you got a padlock on your arse, that you shite through your teeth? Vulgar address to one vomiting. MUTTON MONGER. A man addicted to wenching. WIND-MILL. She has no fortune but her mills; i.e. she has nothing but her tits and arse. TOSS POT. A drunkard. APPLE DUMPLIN SHOP. A woman's bosom. MOON-EYED HEN. A squinting wench. TETBURY PORTION. A c**t and a clap. WHIFFLES. A relaxation of the scrotum.
