Síce som to nenašiel, ale aspoň sa podelím o dve perly z mojej zbierky:
http://www.fromoldbooks.org/Grose-VulgarTongue/
http://words.fromoldbooks.org/NathanBailey-CantingDictionary

Prvý je z troku 1811, druhý dokonca z roku 1736, čiže relatívne blízku k Montmouthovej dobe.

Dolezita je aj uplne posledna veta na uvedenej webstranke.

Zeby to malo ten isty vyznam ako "odds bobs, hammer and tongs"?
Odds bobs, hammer and tongs just means gosh I am surprised. It's an expletive I suppose.It's probably related to Odds bodikins (Shakespeare) and similar expressions. Anything beginning with odds is a euphemism for God's and bodikins is a euphemism for bollocks.

nemohlo by byť aj "Pre Kristove rany!" (čo je na Slovensku obvyklejšie zahrešenie na vidieku)? Inak "samozrejmo" vrelá vďaka! S úctou Váš Dušan Hlísta alias Škopko :=)

Worlds End; King Charles is the reputed originator of the Worlds End. His coach broke and axel there and on seeing the muddy fields on one side and sand bank on the other he exclaimed " Odds blood, it would have to happen at the worlds end". It was a noted house of entertaiment in the reign of King Charles II when access was by river.
