Examples
“Here sauntered a wit-cracker, a peacock feather in his hand, arm-in-arm with an impoverished "banquet beagle," or "feast hound;" there passed a jack in green, a bladder under his arm and a tankard at his belt, with which latter he begged that sort of alms that flows from a spigot.”
“Oh, there you are, my nimble wit-cracker!" he cried, as the jester stepped boldly out.”
“Thus, a wit-cracker is the demon's enemy, and the band of Pantagruel, an evangelical brotherhood, that with tankard and pot sends the arch-fiend back to the bottomless pit. ”
“And then, calling out to the fool: "In half an hour, you, my fine wit-cracker, shall be hanging from a branch.”
