Billingsgaten.

/ˈbɪlɪŋsɡeɪt/

Forms: Also Middle English Bellingesȝate, 1600s Bellings gate, Belin'sgate, 1600s–1700s Billinsgate.

Etymology: The proper name (presumably from a personal name Billing) of one of the gates of London, and hence of the fish-market there established. The 17th cent. references to the ‘rhetoric’ or abusive language of this market are frequent, and hence foul language is itself called ‘billingsgate.’

a. One of the gates of the city of London; the fish-market near it; the latter noted for vituperative language.
