Hi there!
The expression 'bloofer lady' that appears in Dracula is often translated in different ways but does anybody know the original meaning of the word 'bloofer'. I've read the expression is an old idiom which means 'beautiful lady' but I'm asking the meaning of the word 'bloofer'.
Thanks

The anonymous is me. I've visited the page but I haven't found out anything yet. Any other suggestions?
The term "bloofer" also appears in Charles Dicken's novel Our Mutual Friend when refering to a beautiful women. Its in book 2, chapter 9 if you'd like to see the context.
I'm yet to outgrow my grammatic awkwardness as you can see, so excuse me for any mistakes.
