Cads and Bounders
0September 16, 2016 by readlisaread
Amusing me today– a friend who insisted I didn’t understand the real definition of a cad. Maybe I did, but didn’t mind.
Urban Dictionary says: “cad and bounder. This phrase is worth noting precisely because it does not belong in this dictionary: it makes sense in a moral universe that has utterly vanished”
From the article linked above: “And if all else fails, one can always revert to the Shakespearean insult: – take this one, from Prince Hal in Henry IV Part 1: “This leathern jerkin, crystal-button, not-pated, agate-ring, puke-stocking, caddis-garter, smooth-tongue, Spanish pouch“.
