That would be a risky google search! Who knows what sort of ad's you'd be targeted with after that!

I agree, a wee poem from Robert Burns: -

When first my brave Johnie lad came to this town,
He had a blue bonnet that wanted the crown;
But now he has gotten a hat and a feather,
Hey, brave Johnie lad, cock up your beaver!

Cock up your beaver, and cock it fu' sprush,
We'll over the border, and gie them a brush;
There's somebody there we'll teach better behaviour,
Hey, brave Johnie lad, cock up your beaver!

It's apparent rudeness is a recent interpretation as much of what we think is vulgar slang simply did not exist in his day. A beaver is type of hat and cock is a feather stuck vertically in the hat, sprush is comb. It basically about a northern bumpkin trying to smarten himself up in the southern towns. Most of the words are Scots dialect which have similar meanings in old English.

Burns did write some lewd poetry, "My girl she's aire" being infamous. Most of his stuff was through observing common folks social norms of the time.
