Pepys Diary

[ianfry]

In his diary what did Pepys call his 'jucalette' ?

His wife? I say that on the basis that 'jugal' comes from the Latin for 'yoke', especially in reference to the 'marital yoke', so a jugalette - with a 'g' rather than a 'c' - could be what people now sometimes call 'the little wife'.
