Talk:autem cackle tub

Pulpit sense removed
Removed the "pulpit" sense, which (per sources) appears to be a definition for a different phrase, simply "cackle tub" (no "autem"). See also John Camden Hotten's Slang Dictionary (1873). I can't cite it in any case. Equinox ◑ 22:31, 15 May 2021 (UTC)

"(obsolete, UK, thieves' cant) A Dissenter's meetinghouse; a conventicle." Elsewhere mentioned as meaning a pulpit instead. I can't find uses. (A lot of other Thieves' Cant entries, and Vulgar Tongue entries, also seem unattestable.) - -sche (discuss) 14:05, 29 March 2024 (UTC)
 * RFV-failed, and in deleting it I also noticed and re-deleted autem quaver tub and autem quaver, which previously failed RFV and were recreated without evidence of use, and I can't find uses now. - -sche (discuss) 01:21, 5 June 2024 (UTC)
