~Regency Wednesday~ Grappling Irons

I opened to a random page in my 1811 Dictionary of the Vulgar Tongue and found a few slang terms for your reading enjoyment. ☺

GRAPPLING IRONS.
Handcuffs.

GRAVE DIGGER.
Like a grave digger; up to the a-se in business, and don't know which way to turn.

GREEDY GUTS.
A covetous or voracious person.

GREEK.
St. Giles's Greek; the slang lingo, cant, or gibberish.

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

♥Happy reading, writing, and blogging!!♥
