GUTTING A QUART POT. Taking out the lining of it: i. e. drinking it off. Gutting an oyster; eating it. Gutting a house; clearing it of its furniture. See POULTERER.

A selection from Francis Grose’s “Dictionary Of The Vulgar Tongue” (1785)

@TheVulgarTongue @histodons This one surprises me. Would have thought "to gut" was an old term. Maybe it was only just being applied to things that weren't animals being dressed for food?

@mythologymonday @archaeodons @mythology @folklore @TarkabarkaHolgy @juergen_hubert @curiousordinary @wihtlore @FairytalesFood @bevanthomas @FinnFolklorist @Godyssey @GaymerGeek @starrytimepod I took my daughter and her best friend to the Getty Museum in Santa Monica. Both Percy Jackson nuts, so we did their Percy Jackson tour.

Watching the two 12 year olds have an absolute blast naming the Gods off the Greek Vases was amazing. Far far better than me.

Mom. It's Asclepius, not Hermes. His staff has 1 snake, no two, so it isn't the cacaduceus.
