triangle shirt-waist
Does this have some special meaning? Michael Savage used it to bash Barbra (sp?) Streisand last night. Typical jibes would be about her being a leftie, a no-talent hack, a clipped-hair mean-faced...

Having read the link, I assume Savage meant it in the same vein as "clipped-hair mean-faced lesbian"...i.e. "feminist" (to him).There is also some possibility he conflated "panty-waist", I suppose....

I too fail to understand the insult.Considering the source, I just chalk it up to the foaming-at-the-mouth ranting of a Dennis Miller wannabe. Some radio/tv talk people believe that if you string...

Now that I think about it, I wonder if it was a clumsy attempt to jibe both P.C. gender jargon and the allegedly subversive nature of labor organizing by punning on the term "pantywaist"?

No, I've heard this one, only in American contexts though. Had no idea that it had its origin in an article of clothing.Pantywaist "weak or effeminate male" is 1936, from a type of child's garment...
