# ladettishness
## English
### Etymology

From ladettish +‎ -ness.

### Noun

ladettishness (uncountable)
* (informal, rare) The quality of being ladettish; the behaviour of a ladette.
** 2001 April 1, “Watch with amazement”, in The Guardian‎, archived from the original on 2024-05-24:Although television can deal brilliantly with such figures in documentary form, its current tone is anti-introvert. Loudness, gregariousness, lad- and ladettishness are imperative. You must be larky, joshy, noisy, especially if you are young.
** 2005 November, Mike Younger, Molly Warrington, Ros McLellan, Raising Boys' Achievement in Secondary Schools, McGraw Hill Education, page 182:[…] there is emerging evidence, too, that issues of ladettishness are impacting upon an increasing number of girls.
** 2007 May, Richard Teese, Stephen Lamb, Marie Duru-Bellat, editors, International Studies in Educational Inequality, Theory and Policy, Springer Science+Business Media, page 255:The impact of the culture of laddishness (Yates 1997; Francis 2000; Warrington et al., 2000) and more recently of ‘ladettishness’ (Jackson 2006), as some boys and some girls develop defensive behaviours, such as the rejection of academic work and disengaged behaviour to minimise the risk of academic failure.
** 2012 March 12, Sam Wollaston, “TV review: The Love Machine; Take Me Out; Come Date With Me”, in The Guardian‎, archived from the original on 2024-05-24:Chris Moyles (love him or loathe him, you've got to loathe him) is on hand for laddishness, Stacey Solomon for ladettishness.

If you then zoom in on the drawing using a transform, the walls will appear wider, as they should.

# rynsztok
## Polish
### Etymology

Inherited from Old Polish rynsztok, from German Rinnstein or from uncommon Rinnstock. While the latter does exist (despite the claims of some sources), it seems restricted to eastern German dialects, such as German Silesian, and is indeed first attested in M.A. Troc’s Polish-German dictionary of 1744, meaning that it could be a reborrowing from Polish. Note, however, that Rinnstein (attested in the late 16th c.) also postdates the Polish term.
