~Regency Wednesday~ Elbow Grease

Hello, my lovelies!! I'm here today with another slang definition from my trusty 1811 Dictionary of the Vulgar Tongue. Enjoy! 

ELBOW GREASE.
Labour. Elbow grease will make an oak table shine.

ELBOW ROOM.
Sufficient space to act in. Out at elbows; said of an estate that is mortgaged.

*Taken verbatim from the Kindle edition of the 1811 Dictionary of the Vulgar Tongue. Get your free copy HERE.

♥Happy reading, writing, and blogging!!♥
