英语中十类对女人的搞笑称呼
<p>1、<span word="old">old</span> <span word="hen">hen</span>老婆子</p><p>俗语，男性用语，专用于中年以上的女性。除开玩笑的场合外，女性不太欢迎这一称谓。因为<span word="oldhen">oldhen</span>的字面意思是老母鸡。这一表达的来源是：从男人们的眼光来看，母鸡来回乱跑，凑在一起唧唧喳喳，或者互相对啄。</p><p><span word="Three">Three</span> <span word="oldhens">oldhens</span> <span word="from">from</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="neighbored">neighbored</span> <span word="were">were</span> <span word="standing">standing</span> <span word="on">on</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="cornergossiping">cornergossiping</span>.有三个邻居老婆子站在街角上说长道短。</p><p>说到<span word="hen">hen</span>还要提到与<span word="hen">hen</span>相关的表达：<span word="hen">hen</span>-<span word="pecked">pecked</span>怕老婆的，本义是被母鸡啄的。意思是象软弱的公鸡经常被强壮的母鸡啄伤。男子慑于女性的淫威，表现得服服帖帖。这个表达出自1690年德莱顿的喜剧《安菲特律翁》和1712发行的杂志《旁观者》。理解了上面的意思，那么<span word="hen">hen</span> <span word="party">party</span>就不难理解为女人的聚会。后引申为凡是只有女人参加的社交性聚会都叫<span word="henparty">henparty</span>。与它相对的是<span word="stag">stag</span> <span word="party">party</span>雄鹿会，只有男子参加的聚会。</p><p>2、<span word="spring">spring</span> <span word="chicken">chicken</span>少女</p><p>原意童子鸡，不超过10个月的肉嫩的笋鸡。这一表达来源已久：在古时候由于孵化技术上的原因，不到春天就很难得到这样的鸡，后转义为少女。</p><p><span word="Mrs">Mrs</span>. <span word="Gray">Gray</span> <span word="may">may</span> <span word="not">not</span> <span word="be">be</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="granny">granny</span>, <span word="but">but</span> <span word="shes">shes</span> <span word="certainly">certainly</span> <span word="no">no</span> <span word="springchicken">springchicken</span>.格雷夫人也许还不算老太太，但是她的年纪肯定不小啦。</p><p>有时可直接用<span word="chick">chick</span>表示小女孩儿。</p>
