Victorian Slang of the Week – Toad in the Hole

The Slang Dictionary, 1865

If a person wearing advertising boards (or a “human advertising medium”) front and back is a “Sandwich” then what other food-based item are they called if the boards enclose them on all four sides? A “Toad in the hole”, of course!
