This slang dictionary gathers the most amusing and useful terms from English history and helpfully presents them to be used in the conversations of our modern day.

Now the legacy lives on in this colorful pocket dictionary. • Learn the origin of phrases like "birthday suit" and discover slang lost to time. • An unexpected marriage of lowbrow humor and highbrow wit Discover long lost antique slang and curse words and learn how to incorporate them into modern conversation. A Pocket Dictionary of the Vulgar Tongue is perfect for enlivening contemporary conversation with historical phrases; it includes a topical list of words for money, drunkenness, the amorous congress, male and female naughty bits, and so on. • A funny book for wordplay, language, swearing, and insult fans, as well as fans of British humor and culture • Perfect for those who loved How to Speak Brit: The Quintessential Guide to the King's English, Cockney Slang, and Other Flummoxing British Phrases by Christopher J.

Book excerpt: The "1811 Dictionary of the Vulgar Tongue," was written by Francis Grose (a British soldier) just after the American Revolution. In those days, the word vulgar meant slang (although some of Grose's definitions are admittedly vulgar). The book was so controversial, it was banned in military camps at the time. Some of the definitions are really funny, even today. Others are educational, entertaining, or both. Readers of this book will have a better understanding of how people spoke over a century ago. Rife with put-downs, the book will also provide plenty of fodder for insulting friends. It is an old dictionary of words that will "pitch kettle" (confound) people if you actually use them. Some of the phrases and terms, such as "to catch a crab" (to fall backwards by missing one's stroke in rowing), are still being used today. If you are into quirky dictionaries like this, you will enjoy this book!

This book was released on 2018-09-08 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This 1811 edition is based on Captain Francis Grose's 'Classical Dictionary of the Vulgar Tongue' first published in 1785, and is a dictionary of slang words. Grose was one of the first lexicographers to collect slang words from all corners of English-speaking society, not just from the professional underworld of pickpockets and bandits. So while 'The Vulgar Tongue' includes many of the words found in earlier 'scoundrels'' dictionaries (such as Head's 'Canting Academy'), it also lists a whole range of mundane slang words sure to inform the writer and researcher as well as entertain the vulgar.
