The Vulgar Tongue

book_Vulgar
The Vulgar TongueThe Vulgar Tongue

The original 1785 alternative dictionary of 'the vulgar tongue', educating readers in the correct usage of colloquialisms, slang and old English idioms.

Includes familiar entries like top-heavy, originally meaning 'drunk', and revives classics that should never have been forgotten, such as apple dumplin shop (a woman's bosom). Nit squeeger (a hairdresser). Puff guts (a fat man). Flaybottomist (a teacher) and son of prattlement (a lawyer).

So you won't be a Jason's Fleece if you buy this book. In fact, take full advantage of The Vulgar Tongue and you'll be much less of a nigmenog. No true aspiring vulgarite should leave home without it.
