Note. Phrases in use--in use with the vulgar and the polished, with the illiterate and the learned, with males and females, with the man of hoary head and the yet lisping child, and in ordinary, familiar, accepted, and most approved use--amount to hundreds. They are heard in the market and on the road, in the field and in the house, in the discussion of matters of sober business and in angry altercations or fightings. They form an important constituent of many causes and cases which ultimately appear in the halls of the Collector and in the courts of the Judge. This reason for inserting them--and this has been our reason for inserting others of the gross and coarse phrases and terms of the nation's vocabulary--has, however, been deemed insufficient, and all but the above few are omitted. This observation and this notice apply also to the compounds occurring below.
