Beschreibung
"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 on his late-night excursions to London's slums, dockyards, and taverns.

This handy pocket-sized edition gathers the most amusing and useful terms and phrases from the dictionary and helpfully presents them to be deployed in the colorful (some might say vulgar) conversations of our modern day. Also included are topical list of words (for money, drunkenness, the amorous congress, male and female naughty bits . . .) 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"--
