1. Intimidation
   Extravagance

1. Wet wipe
   Storm supply
2. Rain napper

   One of those
2. Get up steam

1. Big heap
   Yardnarb

   Bant
2. Misery
   Poked up

   To get a photograph taken of you
2. To get a black eye

1. Knock in
   Whittling
2. Table talk
   Mutton shunter

Popular in the 1880s, the word "mutton" is derived from sheep. The term is not a term of endearment, but rather a more derogatory term for those in the profession. It wouldn't be uncommon to hear "Look out for the mutton shunters!" at the time.

1. A drunk man
   A hard worker

   Moved out of town

   Wimp
2. Quitter
   Coward

This slang term is compared to a dog who only touches meat and not an animal that is alive and breathing, according to the book, "Passing English of the Victorian Era" by J. Redding Ware. Of course, it's not a nice thing to be called nowadays or in the past, but it was used for someone that the speaker deemed a coward.

1. Sausages
   Pizza
2. Potatoes

1. Sauce box
   Gonoph
2. Throat latch

1. Varnish
   Tar
2. Gasoline

   Revolveress

1. Nail a strike
   Hum
2. Bark up a wrong tree
   Drop

1. Nottub
   Glow
2. Skilamalink

   Alcohol
2. Dog food

While today, we might just call it "dog chow," in the Victorian era, they had a much more creative name for meat that wasn't good. But isn't it fascinating that Victorians also associated poor food with dogs? What animal is more associated with the word "bow wow" than a dog?

1. Flier
   Stop-gap

   A person who is always on time
2. A talkative woman
   An individual who always promotes the church

1. Unforgiving
   Magic
2. Brave
   Uptight
