What is Farthing?
1.
(1) The smallest British coin (no longer in currency.
(2) The round, coin-like glans of the clitoris of an elderly lady.
(1) In fiscal terms the farthing was worth only one-quarter of an old penny - yet it was a popular coin, purchasing valuable comforts and pleasures for its many users.
(2) In the sagging, wrinkled folds of her ancient, grey-bearded purse, Cynthia's fingers could still quickly locate the reassuring shape of a small farthing. As she deftly polished the surface of the treasured coin and rubbed the antique residue of dried beaver-spit from its rim, a tingling sensation swept like a tide from her fundament to all her extremities, which confirmed to her that she was still alive.
"Cherish your farthing while you may," she mused "all else is of little value."
See lust , nostalgia , Persson
