Description

A selection from the original slang dictionary The Vulgar Tongue, including such gems as "Bitch Bobby" (a country wench) and lobcock (a large relaxed penis or a dull inanimate fellow)
If someone called you a beetle-browed bastardly gullion and told you to shut your bone box, would you be offended? If you lived in 1785, you most certainly would! Harking back to a time when insults and rude words were considerably more colorful, this collection is one that no true aspiring vulgarite or rude language lover should be without.
