As I flip contentedly through my Vulgar Dictionary, I see a term that I've seen in more than one Regency, one that I've used myself. Lord Greville from Deception used this term.
STUBBLE IT.
Hold your tongue. CANT.
And just because I can, here's an additional definition. ☺
STRUMPET.
A harlot.
Taken verbatim from the 1811 Dictionary of the Vulgar Tongue, which is free all the time in Amazon's Kindle Store. Guess what else is free today and ONLY TODAY? ♥

Thank you for joining me for another random bit of buckish slang. OK, so it wasn't all that random since I did choose a word this time that appears in one of my own Regencies. Still. ☺
♥Happy reading, writing, and blogging!!♥
