pinup girl. During World War II, U.S. servicemen commonly decorated barracks walls with pictures of scantily clad film stars, the most popular of which showed Betty Grable wearing a one-piece bathing suit (see also grable-bodied seamen). This practice led to the term pinup girl, which is still occasion- ally used for any attractive woman, while pinup alone can refer to an attractive woman or man. |
