    Mark Twain Slang (1862)

    Caroline and old Mark Twain
    One of the things I love about writing my P.K. Pinkerton Mysteries  is the richness of American vocabulary in the early 1860s. Another person who loved the language was Mark Twain. In 1863, the quick-witted, sharp-tongued, pistol-packing newspaper reporter named Sam Clemens was living in a Wild West mining town called Virginia City and had just started using the soon-to-be famous pseudonym "Mark Twain". The budding writer delighted in the latest popular slang words, some of which can be found in his early writings and letters home. Even his new name was slang. "Mark Twain" can mean two things: the depth of a sounding in the Mississippi River or two whiskeys on credit at a saloon. Here is an ABC taster of some of the other marvellous slang of the period.

    Absquatulate = to leave abruptly
    Bach (or Batch) = to live like a bachelor
    Cheese it! = Shut up!
    Dunderhead = fool, idiot
    Eagle = a gold coin worth $10
    Put some Killickinick in your pipe...
    Flapdoodle = Nonsense
    Gimcracks = A Knicknack
    Hurry-Skurry = Rushed
    Ironikle = Ironic
    Jollification = Party, Celebration
    Killickinick = Twain's beloved, yet cheap pipe tobacco
    Lucifer = A Match (to light your pipe)
    Mulligrubs = Grumpiness, Depression
    Nabob = Wealthy and Important Man
    "Undress Uniform"
    Octaroon = Person w/ one Negro great-grandparent
    Poltroon = Utter coward
    Quirk = a Taunt, Retort
    Rough = a Thug, Ruffian
    Spondulicks = Money
    Toper = Drunkard
    Undress Uniform = Long Johns
    Vamoose = to depart hurriedly
    Whale = to Beat or Thrash someone
    Xeromyrum = Dry Ointment
    You bet! = common exclamation
    Zephyr = a Gale

    The first book in my P.K. Pinkerton Mysteries series is The Case of the Deadly Desperados. It is available in hardback, paperback, Kindle and MP3 audio download. 

    P.S. For more Wild West slang, read my post about audiobooks.
