This is not necessarily slang but amusing anyway; from civil war time and after.
Major Ransom once described a man that he arrested in 1863 Missouri as, "a scoundrel of the deepest dye." Also, "a double dyed conspirator and villain."
After the war he once described the more pointed toed boots as, "peaked-toed breeders of corns and bunions."
Those are wonderful!!! From now on I am going to try and incorporate "a scoundrel of the deepest dye" into my conversations! That's fantastic!
