abstract = {Etymologies are proposed for twelve previously unexplained English words from work­ing-class or underclass English vocabulary. Treated in Part 2 of this study are aloof/aluff, boondoggle, and welch/jew/gyp. Common features are isolation, extended use, pejoration, and treatment by lexicographers with varying degrees of proscriptiveness and by word buffs with enthusiastic amateur etymologizing.

	This is the second part of a study begun in Sayers (2020). },
