Here's how the word was used in a manuscript I'm editing. This night was a quiet night in Mazatlan in 1920. The MS is non-fiction and the source is from 1920, so I know it's not just an author's invention.
"Last night, I sat around with a bunch of worthless Americans who have been down here fifteen to twenty years with no visible means of support. They just pulled every body's reputation to pieces. It was just like a Kensington, except that only one talked at a time. "
Any historical experts know what he was talking about? I've scanned the web and it doesn't seem to help.
