(Latin, calidus; French, chaudeau, Italian, caldo.) Caudle (Mrs.). A curtain lecturer. The term is derived from a series of papers by Douglas Jerrold, which were published in Punch. These papers represent Job Caudle as a patient sufferer of the curtain lectures of his nagging wife. Source: Brewer's Dictionary. |
