Dawn: You're not fleeing. You're... moving at a brisk pace. Buffy: Quaintly referred to in some cultures as the Big Scaredy Run Away.

'Touched'


Natter 45: Smooth as Billy Dee Williams.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

BOTTOM. A polite term for the posteriors. Also, in the sporting sense, strength and spirits to support fatigue; as a bottomed horse. Among bruisers it is used to express a hardy fellow, who will bear a good beating.

Huh.

Because books.

LAUER: No. I think it’s a dramatic statement. “These broads are millionaires stalked by stalked by grief-parazzies”? “I have never seen people enjoying their husband’s deaths so much”?

COULTER: Yes, they are all over the news.

Jesus, she makes me want to scream. And hurl things. And hope she dies bloody. One of our best friends died in the Towers, and his widow isn't "enjoying" his death at all. Nor are his two children, one of who never got to meet him.

I know all of the slang terms used so far from my reading of Georgette Heyer (the original regency romance novelist), who clearly owned a copy of the volume in question.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

TO WHIP THE COCK. A piece of sport practised at wakes, horse-races, and fairs in Leicestershire: a cock being tied or fastened into a hat or basket, half a dozen carters blindfolded, and armed with their cart whips, are placed round it, who, after being turned thrice about, begin to whip the cock, which if any one strikes so as to make it cry out, it becomes his property; the joke is, that instead of whipping the cock they flog each other heartily.

This seems unnecessarily specific:

VICE ADMIRAL OF THE NARROW SEAS. A drunken man that pisses under the table into his companions' shoes.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Also, like very good aim for one so drunk.

Look, you are getting testy with me.

Dear Matt Lauer, I do not think that word means what you think it means.
