Mill-ken: A thief who breaks into houses.
“The same capacity which qualifies a Mill-ken to arrive at any degrees of eminence would likewise raise a man in what the world esteem a more honourable calling.”
Henry Fielding, The Life of Mr. Jonathan Wild the Great (1743).
Scale of 1 to 10... 3. (See Snudge.)
