tuppence

noun

Etymology: By surface analysis, two + pence, collective plural of penny. Same for the definition: "Ellipsis of tuppence worth (“one’s opinion”)" however, this idiom is derived from this fact; in Britain it used to cost two pence ("tuppence") to post a letter, usually holding one's opinion.

1. Two pence (in pre- or post-decimalisation currency).

   “Milk has gone up to tuppence ha’penny a pint.”

   “In less than four days twenty-three men had paid their tuppences to Henery, who ’ad been made the seckitary.”

2. Ellipsis of tuppence worth (“one’s opinion”).
3. The vulva or vagina.

   “"Fucksticks!" When some smart-arse bastard gives me my comeuppance / "Fucksticks!" When it’s ages since I’ve seen a lady’s tuppence”

   “The lady confided to the nurse helping her up off the examination couch, and told her “He put his hand up me funnel and made me tuppence bleed!””
