The takeaway language of slang by James Sharpe - TLS: There are, as with Green’s Dictionary, numerous entries which relate to sex: “beard-splitter” for “an enjoyer of women” has a modern ring, while the reader will also come across such terms as “butter’d bun”, meaning “lying with a woman that has been just layn with by another man”. Numerous other entries relate to crime and punishment, and to drink and the milieu of the alehouse.
