Definition wrong?

[edit]

For its definition the Oxford English Dictionary directs the reader to its quotation:

1656 T. Blount Glossographia Spintrian, pertaining to those that seek out, or invent new and monstruous actions of lust.

Obscure enough, but there is no suggestion in any of the quotations that the word means a threesome, but rather, male homosexual, anal sex. Wordiesmith (talk) 20:57, 5 August 2022 (UTC)Reply
