metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: The study addresses the problem of incompleteness of data on the origin of Russian slang
  expression chuvikha ‘woman, girl’. It has long been associated with thieves’ cant, in which, according
  to A. P. Barannikov, the lexeme was gypsyism. Then the gypsy etymology began to be
  rejected. The purpose of the study is to fill in the gaps in the history of the word chuvikha using
  the methods of corpus and lexicographic analysis on the material of the Russian National Corpus,
  the collection of digitized books google.books, the diary service Prozhito.org, dictionaries
  of secret languages, slang dictionaries, etc. The following conclusions are made. Chuvikha,
  chuvak and a number of other slang expressions moved into the jargon of so-called stylyags
  (youth, passionate about Western culture) no later than the early 1950s from the jargon of restaurant
  musicians, so-called labukhs. Thus, the source of the argotisms of the stylyags was the
  slang of musicians, not thieves. Further, jargons of restaurant musicians of the 20th century are
  related with the secret language of orchestral musicians of the 19th century, having common
  roots with the slang expressions of labukhs, are given in the book. They are also related with
  other secret languages of the 19th century. The words chuvikha and chuvak are possibly related
  to the lexem chovy ‘good’, which was used in the secret languages of the 19th century (with a
  variant of the root chuv-) and in the aforementioned musical jargon of the 1920s as a substantive
  — the nomination of a person.
