There are three new slang entries at the what ho library, a multifandom site. They cover everything from sex to crime to drinking establishments to money and beyond. One entry had to be revised when a major site closed down. But the links were found elsewhere and there should be no problems. The posts cover 1850 to present.

Don't Let Him Gazoomph You

This is general slang, including crime, flapperspeak, and polari, the secret slang of the gay world.

What's An Edwardian Word For Penis?

Self-explanatory.

Has That Salvation-Juggins Lost His Knob?

These are slang terms for race, sexuality, insanity and many other large concepts. Dating back to 1850. Translation: has that religious person gone insane?

what_ho_library , the entry "What Is An Edwardian Word For Penis?" has been updated with British and American timelines of slang for:

Breasts
Commercial Sex
Masturbation
Arse (Down And Dirty)
Defection and Urination

The Timeline slider goes from 1850-present, so it works for just about every fandom, including Jane Austen if you want to get naughty.

At

Happy Holidays!

victorian221b is a place to explore the world of Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson, i.e. from the middle of the 19th century to the late Victorian era to World War I, and to the Roaring Twenties (and possibly 1930s). So the Victorian period is just a starting point. Originally this comm was intended mostly for recs and fic promotion (as everyone by all means is welcome to do still), but gradually it gravitated towards being a research lumber room with reviews of books, TV series, web resources, etc. regarding various historical aspects. Hope you will find it interesting and maybe even helpful for writing your fic.

All things Victorian Holmes: fics, recs, meta, discussions, etc. For any universe set in that time period such as ACD books, Granada, Ritchie, Lenfilm, A Study in Emerald, The Great Mouse Detective, BBC The Abominable Bride, etc. Want to promote your old or new fic, post some meta to discuss/back up from tumblr or recommend a book/tv series/radio drama/film? Do join in!

Summary:

July 1895.

Or, Holmes thought—unwilling, bracing himself against it, halting where he stood with his eyes screwed shut but his cursed brain would insist upon doing the thing completely—perhaps bloody Watson wanted something so desperately that this villain had hooked him, body and mind.
