Absurd Samuel Johnson

This channel contains the most entertaining and absurd quotations found in Samuel Johnson's A Dictionary of the English Language. It was created to spark interest in one of my favourite, and most revered, writers, Samuel Johnson.
 Some entries have been chosen due to absurdity or vulgarity. Some highlight major cultural difference, while others are included because they are soaked with Johnson's style and humour.
 Some of these quotes may be taken out of their original context for entertainment purposes. Not all of Johnson's entries are absurd, vulgar, or incorrect. Johnson's dictionary contains over 42000 entries, most of which are aptly defined. In fact, some of the entries covered contain clearer, less convoluted, definitions than modern dictionaries.
 Johnson did not necessarily use, condone, or create the words found in his dictionary. Many of the words he defined were antiquities, even in the 18th century. Samuel Johnson's goal was simply to record the (written) English Language.
