Here Are Those Definitions From the Last Post

I didn't recognize some of the words from the last post, so looked them up.

From #4:

Starveling--  poor in quality, inadequate

elfskin--  probably a misprint for eelskin as it only appears in the Henry IV play.  Eelskin means slimy.

pizzle--  penis of an animal, especially a bull.

stockfish--  cod or haddock, cured by splitting and air dried.

From #1

rampallian--  a mean wretch

fustilarian--  a low fellow, stinkard, scoundrel

I probably wouldn't use these two as what good is it to inselt someone who doesn't know what you're talking about.
