Impolite Conversation: Need Regency "guy talk" info

Posted by Genette on July 05, 1998 at 09:59:57:

To L and T indexI wish to do a story for Bits of Ivory including a scene where Wickham is talking "guy talk" with Denny and Carter about various Meryton girls (nice and not-so-nice).

I don't wish for it to be TOO impolite, but all I know of descriptions of appearance is "looking well." That just doesn't get it for this scene.

In a nutshell, how would a guy in Regency times say that a girl looks "hot" (or "built" or "is loose" or the like)?

Any help would be greatly appreciated! :)
