@fraterfdisk No, but I certainly remember when a “Geek” was a carnival sideshow performer (a sort of self-made ‘freak’) who specialised in acts like biting the heads off chickens & snakes etc
In 1888 many grim grimy chimney sweeps were grimly shocked on London’s rooftops by “Springheeled Jumping Jack”, the supernatural flasher, who asked if they were feeling “...as lucky as lucky could be?” & if so, would they care to share by giving him a kiss & rubbing off the soot?
@Barr0ca @thehispanist I’ve often wondered about this. I think it’s simply because many folks, esp. in the US, don’t know about the old traditions of guising etc & just think of dressing up in a costume, rather than what type of guise was worn & just as importantly, why people wore costumes & masks etc

As Alistair Rookley, selfstyled Hierophant of Occult Crime, wrote in his seminal great work "Liber Tine"
The Eyes
Are the Windows of the Soul
The Mouth
Is its doorway
The Nose
Is the Soul's letterbox
Its Backpassage is unmentionable
Do thine own will
At the Soul's Front Entrance
