From bite + sheep. Possibly an intentional, satirical corruption of, or pun on, bishop, to imply one who bites the flock he should be protecting (compare English sheep-biter).

Wherefore mine advice and most earnest desire is, with all other of your loving friends, that you still keep that order with those bloodthirsty bitesheeps (bishops, I should say) that you have begun. For though in conclusion they will surely have your blood, yet shall they come by it with shame enough, and to their perpetual infamy while the world doth endure.

c. 1556, John Foxe, “A Letter of John Careless, answering to the loving Epistle or Letter sent to him before by Master John Philpot”, in Rev. Stephen Reed Cattley, editor, The Acts and Monuments of John Foxe, volume 8, London: R. B. Seeley and W. Burnside, published 1839, page 172:

Wherfore the bitesheepe and the recorder beinge owtragiously moved agaynst him, contrary to all justice all Law th[e]y condemned him to bee whipped at a Carts tayle and to bee boored through the eare wᵗʰ a hot iron, wᶜʰ was executed in most dispitful and cruellest manner that might bee executed to any Rooge, […]

If Thomas is rather fond of calling Geoffrey Riddell Archidiabolus instead of Archidiaconus, was it not the established joke of the Reformation to call a Bishop a Bitesheep, and to turn Cardinal Poole into Carnal Fool?

"I'm calling on the owners of Maine Yankee to pull their managers in check, because they are destroying whatever goodwill their employees have built up," Shadis said. "This is such a lack-grace exit." He said instead of fighting the state and the community over jurisdiction questions and clean-up standards, the company should "go the extra mile, clean it up to community comfort levels, and fare thee well."

1659, Edmund Gayton, chapter 31, in The Art of Longevity:

O impudence! O rogue! O villain! Nay, if he be such a man, my righteous spirit rises at him! Does he put on holy garments, for a cover-shame of lewdness?

1681, John Dryden, The Spanish Friar, act 3, scene 2; republished in The Works of John Dryden, volume 6, Edinburgh: Archibold Constable and Co., 1821, page 428:

If this were believed, men would make more account of sincerity, which will only give us boldness, and not seek for cover-shames; the confidence whereof, as it maketh men now more presumptuous, so it will expose them hereafter to the greater shame.

1838, Richard Sibbes, chapter 25, in The Bruised Reed and Smoking Flax, page 122:

cover-slut

Krio: kabaslot (“loose-fitting dress”)

From cover + slut (“slovenly, untidy person”).

compound

Nor let your women there appear / With dirty ſmock-ſleeves, foul head-geare, / With Cover-ſlut from Neck to Toe, / As Maids to morning Lectures go.

1678, John Phillips, “Book V”, in Maronides, or, Virgil Travesty, page 15:

The Irish cloak forms very graceful drapery; the material falls well, and folds well. It is usually large enough to envelop the whole person; and the hood is frequently drawn forward to shield the face of the wearer from sun, rain, or wind. Yet we would fain see its general use dispensed with. A female in the lower ranks of life cares but little for the other portions of her dress if she has "a good cloak;" and certainly her ordinary appearance would be more thought of, if the huge "cover-slut" were not always at hand to hide dilapidations in her other garments.

1846, Samuel Carter Hall, Ann Kent Hall, “Kildare”, in Ireland: Its Scenery, Character &c., volume 2, footnote, page 272:

(obsolete) An apron or pinafore, worn to hide slovenliness (such as dirt, stains, or tears) in the clothing beneath.

Fie, madam, you'll ruin the sex! Husband, say ye? A mere thing—a cover-slut of custom!

1690, John Wilson, Belphegor, act 2, scene 3; republished in The Dramatic Works of John Wilson, Edinburgh: William Paterson, 1874, page 320:

(obsolete, by extension, figurative) Any surface appearance hiding something underneath.

hide-all

The soldier is not unfrequently destitute of portions of his uniform, or his regimental coat and continuations are in such hopeless rags, that even in the sultry summer the slate-coloured great-coat is worn as a hide-all and slut-cover, like the begrimed blanket of a Mexican lépero. Clumsy gaiters, ill-buttoned and discoloured, descend over shoes which, in one case out of three, are broken in pieces, disclosing to view the naked toes of the men—such in Spain are the glories of the vida military!

1845, Terence MacMahon Hughes, Revelations of Spain in 1845, page 326:

A female in the lower ranks of life cares but little for the other portions of her dress if she has "a good cloak;" and certainly her ordinary appearance would be more thought of, if the huge "cover-slut" were not always at hand to hide dilapidations in her other garments. "Oh, then, I'm not fit to be seen; hadn't I better tidy myself a bit?—but asy! sure when I throw on my cloak no one will know what I am," is a too frequent observation; and away they go, shrouded from head to foot in this woollen hide-all.

(obsolete) Someone who wanders aimlessly; a flaneur.


break-bones

From break + bones, calque of Spanish quebrantahuesos.

These southern seas are frequented by several species of Petrels: the largest kind, Procellaria gigantea, or nelly (quebrantahuesos, or break-bones, of the Spaniards), is a common bird, both in the inland channels and on the open sea. In its habits and manner of flight, there is a very close resemblance with the albatross; and as with the albatross, a person may watch it for hours together without seeing on what it feeds. The "break-bones" is, however, a rapacious bird, for it was observed by some of the officers at Port St. Antonio chasing a diver, which tried to escape by diving and flying, but was continually struck down, and at last killed by a blow on its head.

1839, Charles Darwin, chapter 13, in The Voyage of the Beagle, volume 29, New York: P. F. Collier & Son, published 1909:

Whilst we were at work on the beach, crowds of birds began to assemble, especially the Giant Petrel or "Breakbones" (Ossifraga gigantea), the "Nelly" or "Stinker" of sealers. This bird in its habits is most remarkably like the vulture.

1879, Henry Mottidge Moseley, “Kerguelen's Land”, in Notes by a Naturalist on the Challenger, Cambridge University Press, published 2014, →ISBN, pages 205–206:

The titlark, sheath-bill, teal, and goose of South Georgia are wholly or in part vegetable feeders. The cormorant and the tern eat fish. The gull subsists chiefly on limpets and other shell-bearing mollusks. The penguins and Tubinares capture cuttlefish and pelagic crustaceans, the giant petrel, or "breakbones," alone obtaining part of its food on shore, since it has a relish for carrion. The skua feeds on any kind of animal food, dead or alive, especially upon other birds and their eggs.

1922 April 14, Robert Cushman Murphy, “South Georgia, An Outpost of the Antarctic”, in National Geographic, volume 41, number 4, page 429:

Any bird in the genus Macronectes, known as giant petrels.

What influence the decorative motives of Egypt and Assyria, imported by the Phoenicians, had upon the early artists of Greece, it is again, as yet, very difficult to say, and we have to glean such scanty information as we can from what exists of archaic Greek art in pre-Phoenician strata, compared with such ancient Phoenician remains as are entirely destitute of any admixture of Greek influence. Such is the surpassing value of these Phoenician shields, the most ancient metal shields yet discovered. They belong to an epoch when the Greek race was in its youth, when the springs of its mind were fresh, when it was most likely to be influenced by external agents, and such objects were the first to introduce the young and aspiring Greek to the rigid, severe, monotonous, mysterious, and impenetrable forms of Egypt, and to the dreamy, lack-life, symbolic and ideal creations of the Assyrians.

1888 August 7, Rev. Joseph Hirst, “Opening Address of the Antiquarian Section”, in The Archaeological Journal, volume 46, number 181, Royal Archaeological Institute, published 1889, pages 31–32:

(art, nonce word) Represented in such a way as to show important characteristics, rather than in a realistic or literal manner; stylized; abstract.


mumble-matins

From mumble + matins (“morning prayers”).

The reason, why so great a stress was laid on the distinct reading of the Church Service, independently of its obvious necessity, was the general prevalence of an opposite practice amongst the Popish Clergy, many of whom, after they had conformed to the Liturgy, read it as they had been accustomed to read the prayers in their Breviary.*
* The Clergy who read in this hurried and indistinct manner were called, in derision, "Mumble-Matins."

[1845, Rev. William Simcox Bricknell, The Judgment of the Bishops Upon Tractarian Theology, page 604:

By our Lady! if thou hadst seen death in as many shapes as I have, the fearful change, as the mumble matins call it, coming over white and dusky faces alike, thou would not fear it, but prepare to meet it gaily, flask in hand, like a welcome guest or an expected bride[…]

(obsolete, religious slur) A Roman Catholic priest.

A portrait being a portrait, and a "conversation" a group of persons generally belonging to one family; by an "assembly" was understood a kind of pictorial rent-roll, or domestic "achievement," representing the lord, or the squire, the ladies and children, the secretaries, chaplains, pensioned poets, led-captains, body-flatterers, hangers-on, needy clients, lick-trenchers, and scrape-plates, the governesses and tutors, the tenants, the lacqueys, the black-boys, the monkeys, and the lapdogs: tutta la baracca, in fact.
