This short reference guide for readers and writers starts with an introduction to the Regency era and the prince for whom it is named, followed by over 350 words and phrases defined for modern folks. Bonus section has a brief thesaurus of insults.

Entries in this dictionary-style reference guide explain terms like the difference between a pink of the ton and a tulip; a Pocket Venus and a Long Meg; and why a cup-shot unlicked cub would be dicked in the nob to visit a nanny house, where the flash man might plant him a facer.
