nabob
As vice president, Spiro Agnew attacked the press corps with his trademark alliteration, variously tarring them as "nattering nabobs of negativism" or "hopeless, hysterical hypochondriacs of history."

bantling
-Cast the bantling on the rocks,
Suckle him with the she-wolf's teat,
Wintered with the hawk and fox.

EDIT
...
Slightly off the topic, but worth reporting as an end-note. I don't know if I'd come across editress before, as the feminine form of editor, but I found it in my trawl through the history of edit. It seems to have been quite popular in the 19th century. So was editrix. Neither one has died out. There are several web sites with editress or editrix in the title. I suspect most of them are tongue-in-cheek.
A Dictionary of Modern English Usage: The Classic First EditionПоказать
By H. W. Fowler, 1926; P.175:
FEMININE DESIGNATIONS. This article is intended as a counter-protest. The authoress, poetess, & paintress, & sometimes the patroness & the inspectress, take exception to the indication of sex in these designations. They regard the distinction as derogatory to them & as implying inequality between the sexes; an author is an author, that is all that concerns any reader, & it is impertinent curiosity to want to know whether the author is male or female.
These ladies neither are nor pretend to be making their objection in the interests of the language or of people in general; they object in their own interests only; this they are entitled to do, but still it is lower ground, & general convenience & the needs of the King's English, if these are against them, must be reckoned of more importance than their sectional claims. Are these against them? Undoubtedly. First, any word that does the work of two or more by packing several notions into one is a gain (the more civilized a language the more such words it possesses), if certain conditions are observed: it must not be cumbersome; it should for choice be correctly formed; & it must express a compound notion that is familiar enough to need a name.
Secondly, with the coming extension of women's vocations, feminines for vocation-words are a special need of the future; everyone knows the inconvenience of being uncertain whether a doctor is a man or a woman; hesitation in establishing the word doctress is amazing in a people regarded as nothing if not practical. Far from needing to reduce the number of our sex-words, we should do well to indulge in real neologisms such as teacheress, singeress, & danceress, the want of which drives us to cantatrice, danseuse, & the like; authoress & poetess & paintress are not neologisms.
But are not the objectors, besides putting their own interests above those of the public, actually misjudging their own? Their view is that the female author is to raise herself to the level of the male author by asserting her right to his name, but if there is one profession in which more than in others the woman is the man's equal it is acting; & the actress is not known to resent the indication of her sex; the proof of real equality will be not the banishment of authoress as a degrading title, but its establishment on a level with author. Nor, after all, does an authoress, a doctress, a lioness, a votaress, a prophetess, or a Jewess, cease to be an author, a doctor, a lion, a votary, a prophet, or a Jew, because she ends in -ess; she should call herself, & still more allow us without protest to call her, by the common or the feminine title according to the requirements of the occasion; but George Eliot the authoress would then be as much more frequent than G. E. the author as the prophetess Deborah than the prophet D.
It may perhaps aid consideration of the subject if short selections are given,
A, of established feminine titles,
B, of recent or impugned ones, &,
C, of words unfortunately not provided with feminines.
A
Abbess, actress, administratrix, adultress, adventuress, ambassadress, deaconess, duchess, enchantress, executrix, giantess, goddess, governess, horsewoman, hostess, huntress, Jewess, lioness, mother, murderess, priestess, princess, procuress, prophetess, quakeress, queen, shepherdess,
songstress, sorceress, stewardess, votaress, waitress, wardress.
B
Authoress, chairwoman, conductress, directress, doctress, draughtswoman, editress, inspectress, jurywoman, manageress, paintress, patroness, poetess, policewoman, protectress, tailoress.
C
Artist, aurist, clerk, cook, councillor, cyclist, lecturer, legatee, martyr, motorist, oculist, palmist, president, pupil, singer, teacher, typist.
Artist, in list C, illustrates well the need of feminines, since ignorant writers are often guilty of artists & artistes, meaning male & female
performers.
