Except "Scaramouche" and "fandango" are both in the dictionary.
- kazinator 9y agoPolari has some common English words. According to a table in the Wikipedia, for instance cottage, a standard English dictionary word, denotes a "public lavatory used for sexual encounters" and handbag stands for "money".
- greglindahl 9y agoDo you really think that Queen is not using Scaramouche to mean the Commedia del Arte clown and fandango to mean the dance? If I see a sentence with cottage and handbag used like that, I don't think I'd be confused.
