HOYDEN? Now there's a word we don't see very often./Seen with TROLLOP, HUSSY, and TART waiting for the geezer bus.
More hoydens coming soon!
hoydens -- i get to read about hoydens in the Regency Era "romance" novels i read sometimes...it was a word i had to go to my dictionary to see what it meant and it origin
Mimi's comment led me to a Regency favorite from back in the day: http://www.amazon.com/Memoirs-Hoyden-Joan-Smith/dp/0449213293#
Obviously hat one's no swamp hoyden, Deb.
Yeah, iirc, it's a very "tame" book.
I suspect that SWAMP HOYDEN is mighty tame, too, by today's standards.
As Groucho might have said, "I never hoyden such a thing!"(Eyebrows wiggle)
Well, that lowered the level.
