| THE 1811 DICTIONARY OF THE VULGAR TONGUE is a wonderful and hilarious compendium of street jargon, phrases of an indelicate nature, and other expressions of the riff-raff, university students, men of fashion, and other unsavory types popularly in use in and around London at the beginning of the Nineteenth Century. This is one of the most controversial dictionaries ever produced and not for the faint-hearted. Totally out of line with today's standards of propriety and political correctness, Captain Grose's Dictionary unapologetically takes aim at every human foible, quirk and oddity. Nothing is spared. If you love the English language, if you are curious about the true origins of much of the slang and street talk in use today, if you are not easily shocked, this is the Dictionary for you. This edition preserves the original spellings found in Grose's work and include his own interesting methods of censoring words even he found to be objectionable. !! THIS IS NOT THE KING'S ENGLISH !!
