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.
