Er...well, we didn't have tv when I was young so I'm depraved on account of I was deprived!. As well as the reference Rick mentioned there was Antony Newley's ill-fated musical. I guess the writers of both knew Hollywood wouldn't get the reference! Online dictionaries seem to omit it and a Ixquick search would bring up suppliers of sex aids (er.. I'd imagine...) but the good old printed OED complete ed. 1933-ish ,gives the earliest reference as 17th century but used to refer to the "real thing", rather than a wig. As a substitute it was first defined in the 1796 Grose's Dictionary of the Vulgar Tongue as "counterfeit hair for women's privy parts". I leave it to others more familiar with the vagaries of, fashion and vanity to suggest when and why it was used in practice! RtS (resident ignorant old git) |
