Some interesting vocabulary from 1855: "Trowsers" - still in use in British English (spelled, trousers) but "pants" is the American English term, now. When did that shift occur? Also, "ghetto" - earliest usage I can remember coming across - but it turns out it's been around since some time in the 1600s.
