Speak Chuckaboo, Slang of the Victorian and Steam Eras, by Teagan Ríordáin Geneviene

S2 E15 Speak Chuckaboo, Slang of the Victorian and Steam Eras, by Teagan Ríordáin Geneviene Welcome to my Reading Room! Let’s talk about book! Speak Chuckaboo, Slang of the Victorian and Steam Eras, by Teagan Ríordáin Geneviene arrived at my doorstep a few days ago.   I knew that my sister, Sarah, would be very interested in this book and waited impatiently for our meeting on the Saturday following the delivery of Teagan’s book. Sarah and I have designated Saturdays as our “Book Day”  - a special time when we talk about the books that we are currently reading. Please join Sarah and me as we explore Speak Chuckaboo and and the words of the Victorian and Steam Eras. The Blurb on the back of the Book Back in the days of steam engines and mannerly people, a chuckaboo was one’s dear friend. This volume contains slang from the Victorian Era, as well as the Steam Era, which began before the reign of Queen Victoria, and continued into the early 1900s. It combines language from the Victorian, Edwardian, and Steam Eras because there was a great deal of overlap. This slang dictionary also contains a sprinkling of vocabulary words of those eras, which have fallen out of use, along with some history and trivia. While every effort was made to be as historically accurate as possible, this compilation is not meant to be a scholarly work. It is intended for fictional use and entertainment purposes. Have fun speaking chuckaboo. You’re positively rum ti tum with the chill off! Simply hunky dory. Until next we meet, dear friends, safe travels wherever your adventures lead you.
