    About the Book

    Edit

    Explore the lost slang of 1811 Londoners. Accompanied with photographs for an extra vulgar emphasis, this book goes beyond a dictionary. It is a glimpse into history; of both language and culture. Some definition highlights include:

    Beast with two backs: A man and woman in the act of copulation.
    Casting up ones accounts: Vomiting
    Eternity Box: A coffin
    Betwattled: Surprised, confounded, out of one’s senses
