    Today's selection of slang from 1788...

    Daddles: Hands

    Cup-Shot: Drunk

    Clank: A silver tankard

    Chatts: Lice

    Bus-napper: A constable 

    Galimaufrey: A hodgepodge stew made up of leftovers in a larder.

    Gollumpus: A large clumsy fellow

    Malkintrash: A person wearing a terrible outfit 

    Pogy: Drunk

    Rag-water: Gin or cheap booze that the addiction to will reduce the drinker to rags

    Red Rag: The tongue... as in "Shut your potatoe trap and give your red rag a holiday"

    Catting: Vomiting because of too much booze 

    Taradiddle: A lie or falsehood 

    Yaffling: Eatting voraciously 

    Not all of which are defunct - taradiddle is certainly recognisable, and galimaufrey. Pretty sure I've seen cup-shot used too.

    Well, it's relieving to know that we've matured and now use nice sensible words like "catawampus" and "hornswoggled".indecision

  • So I was looking for information about how CPU speed and number of cores affect 3D rendering speed when I found a thread that Richard H wrote.  https://www.cpubenchmark.net/ has CPU benchmarks for lots of processors.

    A Classical Dictionary of the Vulgar Tongue, by Francis Grose, originally published in 1785, but this one is a later publication from 1788...

    You can find it here... https://publicdomainreview.org/collection/a-classical-dictionary-of-the-vulgar-tongue-1788

    Fair warning: Much of the definitions are actually vulgar words or pretty saucy.

    There are actually quite a few words that haven't changed much, especially the really raunchy ones... of which there are a whole lot in this book (see link in my previous post).

    Non-Complaint no2 - Ordered i9-9940X for my new rig on Friday, it cost 670 eur (VAT 24% included) and got an order confirmation for it the same day with that price. Today the same processor was priced at 180 eur higher, just a modest 27% increase over the weekend... Someone is very happy smiley

    The inventory of the store shows that one i9-9940X has arrived just two hours ago... I guess, I'll be getting a text message tomorrowsmiley

    Does anyone know how to speak fly?  I have a fly in my bedroom but don't know how to tell it to stop flying around me!

    The best way to relay that message to the fly is with a fly swatter.

    Perhaps flies are like cats.  They understand what you want of them, they just don't care.indecision
