- Bailiwick The area over which a bailiff has jurisdiction
- Balderdash stupid or illogical talk
- Baleful harmful, menacing or vindictive
- Bangstry masterful violence
- Beek to bask in the sun or before a fire
- Bellibone a lovely maiden; a pretty lass
- Benighted either lacking in cultural, moral or intellectual enlightenment; being overtaken by night
- Blonke a large, powerful horse
- Blutter to blurt out
- Bole trunk of a tree
