#janeawesomewednesday
! Today’s prompt is the phrase “barque of frailty” which does not mean what I thought it would. My mind was thinking hypochondriac 🤷🏻♀️ when in reality it is defined as “a woman of easy virtue; wonton, trollop “ 😳. The Regents had quite a few terms for this type of person like demi-rep, bird of paradise and bit of muslin. Goodness. Creative dirty minds, I guess. However, the terms do sound kinder than words used today to describe such women. And enter Lady Susan. That little minx. She was definitely borderline of being a barque of frailty. She did seem pretty easy—especially if it was a means to an end in getting what she wanted. She was a rather vile person. What Regency era terms have you come across that took you by surprise? As always, thank you
