A Pocket Dictionary of the Vulgar Tongue (Hardcover)
Language: English
Published by Chronicle Books, San Francisco, 2020
ISBN 10: 1452184607 ISBN 13: 9781452184609
Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Originally published in 1785, the Classical Dictionary of the Vulgar Tongue was one of the first lexicons of English slang, compiled by a militia captain who collected the terms he overheard in Londons slums, dockyards, and taverns. Some of the terms have found their place in todays common English as idioms (e.g., birthday suit for nakedness). Others, not so much, which is a shame. This handy pocket-sized edition gathers the most amusing and useful terms and phrases from the dictionary and helpfully presents them for easy modern-day deployment. Also included are topical lists of words (for money, drunkenness, the amorous congress, and more) and many spot illustrations. Portable and powerful, it is just the thing for handling an addle-pate in want of a nope to his blind cupid. A colourfully and creatively profane pocket dictionary of 18th-century English slang, perfect for enlivening contemporary conversation. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Super octavo hardcover (VG) in d/w (G+) jacket tatty; all our specials have minimal description to keep listing them viable. They are at least reading copies, complete and in reasonable condition, but usually secondhand; frequently they are superior examples. Ordering more than one book may reduce your overall postage costs.
