Okay, this made me pause and literally write out every letter that 'fell' in order (‘oomngouuhhrsrtutpntnue’), then make sure they were all contained in 'turntomushuponthergroun'.
They are, and it's very satisfying.

Specifically, to “swash a buckler” referred to the act of pounding a buckler (small shield) against one’s own chest as a sort of macho display.
@theoutcastrogue
And cutpurse of course, which is earlier (mid-14th century, as cutte-purs), and may have kickstarted the whole thing. The variant pick-purse appears in the late 14th century, and from there we get pickpocket in the 1590s. Reminder that at least for women’s clothing, “pockets” at the time were detachable and fastened with string to a petticoat or something, so you could literally pick them up and leave, just like a purse (though rifling through the contents was also an option, and “pick” can mean either method).
I’m also very fond of scapegrace, which is a bit later (1767). Scape here is a verb, it means “to escape, flee from”. So a scapegrace is one who escapes the grace of god, a wild and reckless person, a scoundrel. I would hazard a guess that this isn’t street slang, but influenced by slang on one hand, following the same type of word formation as cutpurse, and by the word scapegoat on the other, which sounds similar but is formed differently: a scapegoat isn’t someone who escapes from a goat, it’s a goat that escapes (or just departs, or is driven out).
Of the words mentioned in that thread, most indeed appear within the proposed timeframe, 1550 to 1700 or thereabouts, which is by no coincidence at all the heyday of rogue literature: pickpocket (1590s), spendthrift (c.1600), swashbuckler (1550s), turncoat (1550s), lickspittle (1741), skinflint (1700), turnkey (1650s), cutthroat (1530s).
Others are modern: sellsword seems to be an invention of fantasy literature, appearing in the late 1960s. I first read it in ASOIAF, and so did a lot of people, I’ll bet. Scofflaw (I didn’t know that word, it’s brilliant!) is American English, from 1924: “The winning entry (from among more than 25,000) in a national contest during Prohibition to coin a word to characterize a person who drinks illegally.” There was a $200 prize! And I’m not sure about lackwit, Ngram Viewer doesn’t record any instances before the 1800s but that’s not solid evidence for anything.
Still, not only are they all “seedy” in some way (heh), but the word formation makes them seedy. It somehow evokes old-timey street slang and medieval or early modern rogues, even if it was coined in a fancy office by an educated author centuries later. What a fascinating phenomenon! Finally, I’ll note that the overwhelming majority of the words that form these compound nouns are monolyllables, so we end up with two syllables telling a whole story. It’s beautiful.
More roguish words:
picklock (one who picks locks, a burglar), 1550s
drawlatch (one who draws latches, also a burglar), appears in A Caveat for Common Cursitors, which is the earliest English cant dictionary (1556)
whipjack (same source) This is more obscure, it does mean “one who whips a jack”, except that whip here means “take out, draw quickly”, and jack or jerk is a cant term for a fake licence, specifically one that says you’re a former sailor and therefore allowed to beg for alms. So a whipjack is a vagrant who bypasses anti-vagrancy laws with counterfeit papers: when the authorities come to shake him up, he whips a jack – flashes a badge, if you will – and says “not to worry, I have a permit!”

Absolutely stunning, I cannot imagine having such a gorgeous book.

CITY the Animation, episode 4 (2025)
brb the whole discord in an uproar at the UNCONSCIONABLE results of Mister Global 2022
seriously though, MR. SPAIN?!
Mr Spain vs the runner up Mr Vietnam. Like. How the fuck?
Looking very respectfully at Mr. Vietnam
I mean personally I was in favor of Mr. Peru and Mr. Nigeria but I can fully agree Spain can get out of there.
Tbh mr spain looks like a piece of art compared to britain and cuba’s costumes
SE asia brought the thunder
Alright you guys I found all 33 of them, and it seems there’s three schools of thought for the costumes: Just Some Guy (tends to be more traditional or modern clothing), Slutty Halloween Costume, and Balls To The Wall Batshit Insanity. I can’t pick a favorite, so here they all are in alphabetical order by country:
(By virtue of there being 33, which doesn’t split into groups of 4 evenly, Vietnam gets to be the big photo.)
What a beautiful, majestic lineup.
Honestly if your Mister Global costume doesn’t include a huge fucking weapon what the fuck are you even doing there
Is me Japan wearing pants or not? Or like something covering him besides the what seems to be a loose jacket?
wtf is wrong with mr france
Forget france, what is going on with mr usa
I’m getting whiplash at how quickly these outfits are making my head spin. Some are gorgeous while the rest are just…questionable at best.
I’m just glad Mr. France and Mr. USA are better than Mr. Britain
Like Mr. Britain set such low expectations that when I came to Mr. USA I was like ok this is going something. Statue of Liberty, Eagle, Flag very USA much patriotism wow
Mr Switzerland was just getting hot and steamy with Mr [insert your choice] backstage when his name was called for the parade.
It’s a toss-up whether Mr South Korea or Mr India is the most elegant.
GOD, I am so glad EVERYONE is better than Mr. Britain, even the fucking USA USA USA! costume from Mr. USA. Like I’d say get your shit together, Britain, but I think we’re WAY past that point by about several centuries.
And mind, I love a man in a good suit! It’s just his outfit is just so creatively bankrupt compared to Everyone Else.
Mr. Japan is probably wearing a fundoshi (type of traditional underwear) under the coat. the photoshoot was absolutely staged that way for the ‘what if he’s naked under the jacket’ factor
Pokemon headcanon that once Absol are studied and people realize they prevent disasters instead of causing them, particularly dangerous workplaces get themselves a workplace Absol and it also decreases accidents.
Construction sites and fishing ships and factories will have one that pretty much just lazes about until it just gets up howling one day and knocks a dude down. They almost never figure out what would have happened but they're always like "yes absol thank you absol I am so grateful to be on the floor right now. Can I offer you a treat in this trying time"
Diversity win! Absol is OSHA Compliant!

stay safe because i like being alive at the same time as you.
reblogging this to add that I often think about the old man yaoi mangaka on bluesky who said "the phrase that finally convinced me that the English language is truly beautiful was 'this shit is so ass'"

salmon have a little fin on their backs between the dorsal and tail find, called the adipose fin. at hatcheries we put teenie tiny tags into the foreheads of salmon fry before releasing them to the wild. we clip their adipose fins (using pain management for the fry don’t worry) so years later when the salmon return to spawn we can identify tagged fish. some states even clip virtually all of their hatchery-born fish so they can all be identified, regardless of tagging programs, like so (x)
anyway a lot of salmon merchandise forgets the adipose fin. stickers and t-shirts and artsy posters and magnets etc etc used to drive me bonkers bc artists just tend to forget the adipose fin.
but no longer bc ever since working at a hatchery i no longer see an adipose-less salmon and think it’s inaccurate anatomy. now i’m like : 0 !! : ) oh this fish was born at a hatchery wroww 💖🐟
next time you see salmon merch u should check to see if it was born in a hatchery : )

having pet stick bugs is fun because every so often i will hear the distinct sound of several stick bug falling and ill go to check on them and find them all in a pile on the ground of their enclosure and i have to figure out if theyve just decided that its floor time now or if they kept mistaking each other for actual sticks again and bundled together the ceiling until gravity got the best of them.
yeah they love forming a faggot together its like their favourite thing to do
please show us bugfaggot op please
they have plenty of plants and sticks to climb and play with they just keep doing this
