I still hear "tickle the innards" from time to time when it's pub o'clock. As for the rest...
Cheers,
Adam.

I like 'Mutton Shunter' - someone who herds the sheeple?

Book of victorian slang
I found this -
a book of 100 Victorian slang words...
http://flashbak.com/not-up-to-dick-1...be-using-9514/
.
so now we can all talk like what Fick and them East End boyz did
Some people see things as they are and ask: "Why?"
I dream of things that never were and ask "Why not?" - Kennedy

The other day I was reading a Ripper fiction story,
A Good Night's Work,
by Susan Clemens....and the phrase "
a punch up the old whiskers
" popped off the page.
I like that one.
