Yes, a great term, especially in N England. Great tune, too . . . yippee, Tune of the Day is a go-go . . . for bints and geezers too.

 

It's just come to me the last time I remember hearing 'bint':

The Holy Grail:
“I mean, if I went 'round saying I was an emperor, just because some moistened bint had lobbed a scimitar at me, they'd put me away!”

I decided to look up the origin of bint:

"Definition of bint  British:  girl, woman

 

First Known Use of bint  1855, in the meaning defined above

History and Etymology for bint  Arabic, girl, daughter"

Yet another gifted youngster. I must do another 10 mins practice tomorrow! I'll play that Tara's Theme if it kills me.

Sorry, no idea re the edit glitch but the link worked fine.

I know this is still a side-track, but the origin of bint has got me interested:

 

"What does ‘bint’ mean in Arabic names?
When this word mentioned in the full name of a preson [sic], it means (daughter)
For example; the girl name is Nora, and her father is Mohammad. Her name will be (Nora bint Mohammad)
Some countries follow this way of writing the name on Passports and other identity documents.
When it mentioned alone, it means (Girl)"

source: https://www.quora.com/What-does-bint-mean-in-Arabic-names   

Also:

 

"Etymology
Borrowed from Arabic بِنْت‎ (bint, “girl, daughter”), from Proto-Semitic *bint-, used to denote a patronym.

The term entered the British lexicon during the occupation of Egypt at the end of the 19th century, where it was adopted by British soldiers to mean "girlfriend" or "bit on the side". Its register varies from that of the harsher bitch to being affectionate, the latter more commonly associated with the West Midlands. The term was used in British armed forces and the London area synonymously with bird in its slang usage (and sometimes brass) from at least the 1950s. (In the Tyneside shipping industry, particularly in Laygate, in South Shields, the term may have been adopted earlier, from the Yemeni community which had existed."

So if the surname was Batty that would then be Nora bint Batty , no ?

And whilst you got your research head on where does " old trout " and " Doris " come from .?

What an excellent side-track this is . . . better than Tune of the Day, anytime. I'll try another on Friday, though . . . just to see if there are any head-bangers out there!

I didn't want to cheat by Googling DD but I'm sure I recall enjoying a western film that she starred in . . . way back, when I was still in short pants! Up north (Lancashire), we didn't call 'em trousers (:-)

[Faraday]

A fantastic performance!

You're your own worst enemy (yes I did spell it right) in all this:
Britches? Kegs?

What's the difference between a man, and a dog running?
The man wears trousers, and the dog just pants.

A lovely song & the chorus by her, is truly awesome.
