has gloss | eng: The Hoochie coochie was a sexually provocative dance that became wildly popular during and after the Chicago Worlds Fair in 1893. Described by the New York Journal in 1893 as "Neither dancing of the head nor the feet" , it was a belly dance performed by women of (or presented as having) an Eastern European gypsy heritage, often as part of travelling side shows. Gooch, Goochie or Gootchie was apparently already a Southern US term for a womans private parts, and hoochie coochie has been suggested as referring directly to sex. |
