Show and Tell - Favorite Blog

My favorite blog has to be my references from "The Vulgar Tongue: Buckish Slang and Pickpocket Eloquence."

A few more treasures from the letter "C" -

Caterwauling - going out in the night in seach of intrigues, like a cat in the gutters.

Charactered - Burnt in the hand. They have palmed the character upon him; they have burned him in the hand.

Chatterbox - one whose tongue runs twelve score to the dozen, a chattering man or woman

Cheese Toaster - a sword

Chosen Pells - Highwaymen who rob in pairs, in the streets and squares of London.

Crab Shells - shoes

I think I need another dictionary to get through some of these!
