King's Shilling

Noun.

Historical definition:

During the Napoleonic wars, due to the lack of able seamen, sailors were recruited (press-ganged) by being paid a sign up fee - 1 King's Shilling.

Reluctant conscripts would be approached by one or more 'recruiters' who would ply them with alcohol until they were totally drunk. They would then hit them over the head with a 'cudgel' and place a King's Shilling in the drunkard's pocket. The inebriate would then be carried on board where they were woken up and convinced that they had joined in good faith. Any argument against the join would be discredited by the discovery of the King's Shilling.

Modern Usage

Discreet gay proposition.
Historical Usage

"I don't know what happened! I was approached by two sailors who got me pissed. Next thing I know I woke up 'in the navy' having received a King's Shilling into my pocket!"

Modern Usage:

OR

"I was only 21 when I received the King's Shilling!"

OR

"I've been approached but am yet to accept the King's Shilling!"

Shill

And it's funny hearing "Matriarchy Shill White General Supreme" call somebody a shill.
Hym "Hey have you ever seen Jordan shill for mens rights? No! I can literally say that I haven't seen that EVER... Not a single time... and that's God's honestly truth. But wait... Then why is he heralded as the King of the incels? And I don't appreciate the insinuation that I wouldn't call your daughter a slut to you face insulting. And you act like I don't have people covertly calling me names 24/7. Shit, I'd call her a slut to the back of her head... bent over an arm rest... But that's neither here nor there. I'm no coward but if I acted that way I'd be in some kind of retard group home. In which case you would be totally justified in bringing women to come suck my dick."
