Before prats, wallys and tossers

The Oxford English Dictionary needs your help, to find out whether any of these words were in use earlier than the first reference they have to them.
So what were you before 1959, apparently the year the word “kinky” came into popular usage? Merely twisted? And does it matter, given that you wouldn’t have known what to call a “marital aid” before 1976 or where to find a “pole dance” before 1992?
