It’s Friday. Everyone’s nearly done with work. Time to get out The Penguin Dictionary of Historical Slang. And someone nip to the offy would you?
mizzard – the mouth
nantee narking – great fun
nutmegs – the human testicles
Palmer’s twister – a strychnine pill
kiss my parliament! – a rude phrase
to give a taste of plum – shoot someone with a bullet
pocket-thunder – a breaking of wind
punchable nun – a harlot
get six quarter – to be sacked
translate the truth – to lie evasively
