I finished knitting these a few months ago, but never got around to posting them -- 18th c style wool stockings, knitted from a churro fleece I processed and spun myself. They fit great, and are very comfy! Quite warm, but very breathable!

Mood board / dungeon inspiration of the day: Giovanni Piranesiās Carceri dāinvenzione, Imaginary Prisons, fantasy landscapes of massive stone architecture dominated by columns and arches, stairs and bridges to nowhere, barred gates, and hanging ropes and chains (begun around 1745 and published as two versions in 1750 and 1761).Ā The original designs would be difficult to map, but itās worth incorporating some of these elements to a dungeon encounter location.Ā To evoke this on a wargaming table I would omit the tall surrounding walls and build one or more central towers with stairs and balconies, placing some lower pieces around them.
Francis Groseās A Classical Dictionary of the Vulgar Tongue
In 1785, the lexicographer Francis Grose published a dictionary of slang terms and colloquialisms. Grose collected words and phrases specific to certain regions or groups of people as well as the vogue words of the day.
The result, speaking from the 21st century perspective, is threefold. Of course, this being the 18th century, there are a lot of words and phrases we would not choose to use to day for being offensive in one or the other way (or both), but it is also amazing to see how many expressions are still used today: hush money, cheek-by-jowl, numbskull, to catcall and chubby are words and expressions still in use today, to name but a few.
And lastly, prepare to be amazed by all the amazingly funny expressions no longer in use; some of them are just funny for their creativity, others astonishingly useful and descriptive.
Iāll share a few of my favourites and invite everyone to take a glance of their own by linking the digitised 1788-edition. Warnings for those wanting to take a glimpse at the full work, as hinted at, include NSFW, crass language and period typical attitudes of all kinds.
The list below the cut, in no particular order, will however be more about humourous and at times even useful expressions with the intention of mildly amusing and provoking a laugh in the Gentle Reader.
