In the first episode of this two part exploration of the slang meanings of given names I had a look at the things boys get called. This is part two: more compact and way more drug-fuelled.  This is the secret life of girls names..

Much of the naughtiness of these two particular podcasts is based in rhyming slang. The Dictionary of English Rhyming Slangs is a fine resource. Honestly, it is the greatest collection of rhyming slang that has ever been gathered together in a single book (2 volumes in paperback). I should know. I am proud to tell you that I am  one of the two co-compilers who got it together and brought it into the light.

So, bragging rights aside, back to the podcast. You'll find lots of  things  that you wouldn't wish on your girl child  when you listen to Word Wrangling: What's in a Girl's Name? 

Prepare to be shocked.
