A profession in the late 18th century through the 19th century that occupied a female worker by punching one's vagina repeatedly until puffed and rouge in color. This work was done before baking in order to increase the volume and lighten the texture of baked goods.
The Clabber Girl went to work on her vagina before going to work on the sourdough loaf that had to be made before Sir Livingston's mother-in-law arrived from London.
