Flesh

[Grizelda]

Flesh is a synonym for meat. I don't like it when the fashion presenters describe see through sleeves as showing some flesh (meat.) A bit crude imo. Better to say that you can see skin through the material. More delicate. More lady-like.

Never thought of it like that. Women flashing the flesh has been around for years. Of course, men never do.

Before butchers were butchers (French origin word) they were flesh mongers... with more a Germanic origin, I think). Meat used to be a more generic word for food rather than specifically about beef, pork, lamb etc.

 

[Battiola73]

Meat in German is Das Fleisch.
