babushka (dict)
|
BabushkaBabushka (Бабушка) is a Russian word meaning "grandmother" or "old lady". Many mistakenly believe that "babushka" means "sexy girlfriend/mistress" however this is not the case. The origin of this belief is unknown. Some dictionaries do, however, define the word as a "kerchief for the head" or "elderly Russian woman". But some common usage in the West appears to diverge from the word's currently (2004) recorded definition. "Babushka" is very rarely used in Russia to mean "kerchief for the head." See also
