I'm going to the Scarborough faire this weekend, and I love getting into costume. I want to be able to communicate like they did in the older days, and I was wondering if anyone knew good slang to use there. If you add a website, it would be greatly appreciated! The faire is set under the reign of King Henry VIII and Anne Boyeln.
