Always aiming to provide a public service New Links pushes the earliest boundary of the
history of swearing in the UK from 1900 to 1811 with the discovery of
Francis Grose's Dictionary Of The Vulgar Tongue. Direct link to a plain text version
here.
Includes such gems as
MADGE. The private parts of a woman.
WHORE PIPE. The penis.
BUSHEL BUBBY. A full breasted woman.
Yay for historic swearing!
