From the Dictionary of the Vulgar Tongue: Soldiers — 5 Comments

  1. Very interesting Maria. I can say that I do NOT want to experience ‘cold burning’. But maybe that was a Regency version of a ‘code red’ in the Marine Corp today (which is very controversial and has been included in various movies). Skulker and Nightingale had lives BEYOND the military of the days. I am always so intrigued to see where slang terms come from. Interesting article!
