Help[Facts] Re: Tanghiste (@Italian speakers?)
in reply to a message by Pie
From looking at the Google results, I don't think that this Italian word has anything to do with your 16th century English name.
After checking writings like this article:
http://www.corriere.it/Primo_Piano/Cronache/2005/07_Luglio/30/tanga.shtml
I got the impression that Italian 'tanghiste' is a word creation turning the word "tanga" (for the minimalist woman's underware) into an adjective meaning something like "tanga-wearing".
