Little Mary
voice, called out, Let her go, Gallagher! This is the origin of the phrase which has become so common.”
Levis/Levi’s – «Ливайзы», джинсы (фирменное название) In 1853, the California gold rush was in full swing, and everyday items were in short supply. Levi Strauss xägî~f Dëíêiëz, a 24-year-old German immigrant, left New York for San Francisco with a small supply of dry goods with the intention of opening a branch of his brother’s New York dry goods business. Shortly after his arrival, a prospector wanted to know what Mr Levi Strauss was selling. When Strauss told him he had rough canvas to use for tents and wagon covers, the prospector said, “You should have brought pants!” Levi Strauss had the canvas made into waist overalls as the original jeans were known as. Miners liked the pants, but complained that they tended to chafe. Levi Strauss substituted a twilled cotton for cloth from France called “serge de Nimes.” The fabric later became known as denim and the pants were nicknamed blue jeans. The two-horse brand design was first used in 1886. The red tab attached to the left rear pocket was created in 1936 as a means of identifying Levi’s jeans at a distance. All are registered trademarks that are still in use. The company briefly experimented (in the 1970s) with a public stock listing, but remains owned and controlled by descendants and relatives of Levi Strauss’s four nephews. Little Mary – малышка Мери (по названию пьесы Д. Барри); (шутл.) желудок Sir James Matthew Barrie (1860–1937) was a Scottish author and dramatist, best remembered today as the creator of Peter Pan. The child of a family of small-town weavers, he was educated in Scotland. He moved to London, where he developed a career as a novelist and playwright. There he met the Llewelyn Davies boys who inspired him in writing about a baby boy who has magical adventures in Kensington Gardens. Also, Little Mary is a slang expression for stomach, belly.
