英语词汇pinup girl的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

词汇	pinup girl
词源	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.
