One of the reasons I am not enamored with the Tudor period.

Cod pieces?

Shouldn’t they be called “troutpieces” instead?

What the heck is “twice as small”? Is that an idiot’s way of saying half as large?

“Seest thou not, I say, what a deformed thief this fashion is,
How giddily he turns about all the hot bloods between
Fourteen and five-and-thirty, sometimes fashioning them
Like Pharaohs soldiers in the reechy painting, sometime
Like god Bels priests in the old church-window, sometime
Like the shaven Hercules in the smirched worm-eaten
Tapestry, where his codpiece seems as massy as his club?
To: pepsi_junkie
I get it, its where they kept their fish and chips so they could snacke when they were hungry.

I don’t remember how the topic came up, but a few months ago my girlfriend and I were wondering if anyone still manufactures codpieces. I don’t think they have them at Sears or J.C. Penney. :-)
To: C19fan
If ya got it, flaunt it. Just don’t step on it.

‘Twice as small’??? Pet peeve of mine: multiplication is for positive results; wouldn’t it be ‘one half the size of’? Just wondering
