I don't often find myself employing profanity, if ever. But it's quite intriguing to hear someone from the year 1885, in 1885 using such a term. I hadn't anticipated that it would have been a widely accepted vernacular choice during that era.

From Wikipedia

"In 2015, Dr. Paul Booth argued he had found "(possibly) the earliest known use of the word '****' that clearly has a sexual connotation": in English court records of 1310–11, a man local to Chester is referred to as "Roger ****ebythenavele", probably a nickname. "Either this refers to an inexperienced copulator, referring to someone trying to have sex with the navel, or it's a rather extravagant explanation for a dimwit, someone so stupid they think that this is the way to have sex", says Booth."

Serious question. Given your age, do you have memories of people who were alive in 1885? Like an uncle, or something like that.

That's probably him on the audio.
