Michael Quinion at worldwidewords.org has an article concerning slubberdegullion, among other other epithets, as occurring in Gargantua and Pantagruel, by François Rabelais, as translated by Sir Thomas Urquhart.
Anyone not familiar with Quinion should browse through his site. It is fascinating and delightful, as well as scholarly.
