BITCH. A she dog, or dogess: the most offensive appellation that can be given to an English woman, even more provoking than that of whore, as may be gathered from the regular Billingsgate or St. Giles's answer--"I may be a whore, but I can't be a bitch."
EIGHT EYES. I will knock out two of your eight eyes; a common Billingsgate threat from one fish nymph to another: every woman, according to the naturalists of that society, having eight eyes; viz. two seeing eyes, two bub-eyes, a bell-eye, two pope-eyes, and a ***-eye. He has fallen down and trod upon his eye; said of one who has a black eye.
LOBSTER. I will not make a lobster-kettle of my ****; a reply frequently made by the nymphs of the Point at Portsmouth, when requested by a soldier to grant him a favour. [For all meanings see LOBSTER]
CRY. The more you cry the less you'll p-ss; a consolatory speech used by sailors to their doxies. [For all meanings see FINGER IN EYE]
ORTHODOXY AND HETERODOXY. Somebody explained these terms by saying, the first was a man who had a doxy of his own, the second a person who made use of the doxy of another man.
