голландская жена ("спальный мешок" из хлопка или бамбука, а также подушка в человеческий рост // The origin of the English term "Dutch wife" is thought to be from the Dutch colony of Indonesia where Dutch traders would spend long periods away from their wives. Another version is that it is one of those "Dutch-words". Since ca.1600, Dutch has been a "pejorative label pinned by English speakers on almost anything they regard as inferior, irregular, or contrary to 'normal' (i.e., their own) practice" [Rawson]. ||| в настоящее время это название перенеслось на резиновых кукол и прочие сексуальные приблуды – Any item or person that makes rest or sleep more pleasant or practical, often away from home. Can refer to pillows, instruments of pleasure, surrogate women, or vending machines which carry prophylactics or pleasure items. Several similar references from Romania, Armenia, Italy, Early English Colonies, Japan (modern) 4uzhoj) |
