cornobbledThis is the only online citation I could find for
cornobbled. But it's not substantiated, just listed with, I might add, a treasure trove of other wonderfully worthless words, tsuwm! You have to click on the
cached link under the hit because the actual url is too unwieldy and I can't pull "shorter link" up right now.
http://google.com/search?hl=en&q=slang cornobbled&btnG=Google Search[re-edit: link's working again, must've been that slow-down here, yesterday] [edit: evidently the link is not bringing the page up...so....type slang cornobbled into Google, you'll get one hit. Then click on the cached link.]I'm almost certain that
cornobbled is listed in the
Slang and Everyday Speech section of Marc McCutcheon's magnificient study,
A Writer's Guide to Everyday Life in the 1800's, which is readily available
for sale online, but not for perusal. However, I don't have access to the book until the historic village library reopens in May. So I guess it's off to the good ol' library! A good university library is sure to have this work, for those of you with nearby or on-site access.
