salvation juggins n.
a member of the Salvation Army.
Passing Eng. of the Victorian Era 214/2: Salvation jugginses (Com. London, 1882). The early aversion exhibited towards the more violent members of the Salvation Army led to the addition of the word juggins. [...] Salvation rotters (1883). Final term of scorn levelled at the early Salvationists. [...] Salvation-soul-sneakers (1883). This was one of the last terms applied, before General Booth (February) yielded to circumstances and with almost papal authority forebade outdoor processions in London. |
