معنی
A very attractive woman.
زمینه فرهنگی
The phrase is deeply rooted in 'volkse' culture. While the Dutch are progressive, there is still a strong undercurrent of traditional 'macho' language in sports and nightlife. In Amsterdam, 'wijf' is used more frequently and sometimes less offensively than in the south, often just meaning 'woman' or 'girl' in the local dialect. There is a strong pushback against this phrase in modern Dutch feminist circles, where it is seen as a prime example of linguistic objectification. The phrase is a staple in Dutch 'Moombah' and 'Trap' music, used to project an image of wealth and sexual success.
