英语词汇venerable monosyllable的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

venerable monosyllable. The monosyllable has been used since about 1715 as slang for the “female pudend,” as Par- tridge puts it, or “a woman’s commodity,” as it is defined in the 1811 edition (called Lexicon Balatronicum) of Captain Fran- cis Grose’s Classical Dictionary of the Vulgar Tongue. The Ven- erable Monosyllable, dating to about 1785, means the same, Grose defining it here as “the pudendum muliebre.” Both terms are practically obsolete except as encountered in literature.
