Victorian Slang of the Week – Cabbagehead

The Slang Dictionary, 1865

More head insults! Cabbagehead – a soft-headed person.

Also, Cabobble – an excellent word from Suffolk meaning to confuse, and it really does sound like a muddled head.

I am Estelle, a small person who lives in Liverpool. I love all books apart from "The World According to Clarkson". Also very keen on comedy, cooking, octopods and other small people.
