DRURY LANE AGUE. The venereal disorder.
COVENT GARDEN ABBESS. A bawd.
COVENT GARDEN NUN. A prostitute.
CUNDUM. The dried gut of a sheep, worn by men in the act of coition, to prevent venereal infection; said to have been invented by one colonel Cundum. These machines were long prepared and sold by a matron of the name of Phillips, at the Green Canister, in Half-moon-street, in the Strand. That good lady haing acquired a fortune, retired from business; but learning that the town was not well served by her successors, she, out of a patriotic zeal for the public welfare, returned to her occupation; of which she gave notice by divers hand-bills, in circulation in the year 1776. Also, a false scabbard over a sword, and the oil-skin case for holding the colours of a regiment.
GOOD WOMAN. A nodescript, represented on a famous sign in St. Giles's, in the form of a common woman, but without a head.
GOOD MAN. A word of various imports, according to the place where it is spoken: at a bagnio in Covent Garden, a vigorous fornicator. [For all meanings see GOOD MAN]
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.
