> With all the UK residents on the list, I'd like to ask for some linguistic assistance. I am seeking archaic insults and slurs for men and/or women, terms like "churl" or "lout" or "poltroon" or on the ladies' side, words such as "strumpet" or "harridan" or "trollop." You are welcome to send any contributions to me off the list if you want, jonesalley@... - thanks in advance for any help!
