Gammerstang commented on the word eighteen pence
(noun) - Conceit, show of importance. A consequential person is said to have eighteen pence around him. Originally the word would apply to people who made arrogant assumption stand in the place of wealth and position. --Thomas Darlington's The Folk-Speech of South Cheshire, 1887
