John Camden Hotten's Slang Dictionary (1873) also has it as slang for a footman. Equinox ◑ 19:16, 24 November 2022 (UTC)

This sense might occur in No Wit, No Help Like a Woman's, act IV, scene ii, where a character uses the term when addressing servants. Maybe also in The Physician, p. 360, but I'm not sure it's being used with this specific meaning. 98.170.164.88 19:31, 24 November 2022 (UTC)
