There is a book in which you might take an interest, one which will answer your question far better than I can here. I'm sure you can find it on Amazon, on Bookfinder, Alibris, or via many or any of the other online bookdealers. Its name? The Writer's Guide to Everyday Life in the 1800's by Mark McCutcheon. Every time I look up nineteenth century profanity the information superhighway leads me there. Apparently one of its most popular chapters is either titled or concerns swear words, taboo words, and euphemisms. And if you dig around long enough using a combination of the abovenoted keywords you will find plenty of these Georgian and Victorian phrases turning hither and thither. Along with the book, I will let you find the link but give you a taste of both--the most proper I can find--until you do:
• adventuress=prostitute or wild woman
• boat-licker=brown-noser
• bass-ackwards apparently shows up here
• inexpressibles=pants
• necessary=bathroom
Like I said, I'm being G-rated here. A lot of the words still in use you might be surprised to find were in use then. You can find all this out, though, for yourself if you do some searching and book buying.
