We Burlicious three are, of course, mistresses of invention.
It is with some pride that we announce to the world the birth of yet another
new dance term – the flange.
“Flange,” we think, is a delicious word, ripe with smutty
overtones, especially when it appears in a routine in which the wider gusset is
definitely “de rigueur”.
However, in this case you’ll be relieved to know that one
flanges to aid the peeling off of a glove.
Experience shows that using a
slippery, satin-gloved hand to remove another, equally slippery, satin glove is
tricky. There's just no purchase. The flange, then, is what we shall henceforth call the pre-loosened and
lengthened fingertip of the glove to be removed, making the job of grasping it
firmly in the other hand much, much easier.
An appropriate instruction would therefore be: “Flange now,
showgirls, while your back is to the audience”.
Just a small contribution to the English language. Feel free
to use it with our compliments.
Yours, developing the dictionary,
Burlicious x
