    • 1831, Thomas Love Peacock, Crotchet Castle:
      MR. EAVESDROP: Sir, you are very facetious at my expense.
      THE REV. DR. FOLLIOTT: Sir, you have been very unfacetious, very inficete, at mine. You have dished me up, like a savoury omelette, to gratify the appetite of the reading rabble for gossip.
