Jargonisms are certainly interesting to study. What do unfamiliar words mean in different social groups, where did these words come from, why do they have such semantics? There are many varieties of jargon: criminal, youth, army - the list does not end there. Many people are interested in learning the meanings of words and the reasons why they started to say so. For example, what is the meaning of the word “bix” and how did such a concept appear?
Who is it?
This expression in certain circles (for example, in prisons, but not only, we will discuss this later) is called young girls who are easily accessible sexually. In general, the meaning of the word bix in jargons is almost the same, but there are slight differences. Depending on the social group the word is used in, it can mean a station prostitute (criminal jargon), hospital (medical), or in general characterize women of "light" behavior.
By the way, Bix has its own specific classification. So, banovaya bixa is just a station “night butterfly”, while Maidan is looking for customers on trains. But the driver either serves drivers (for example, truckers), or works together with a taxi driver who drove a girl with a client to an apartment or hotel.
Among young people who have nothing to do with the criminal world, this word could also be called just a pretty young girl. But here it was less common, mainly among the so-called punks, but young people from social classes higher preferred a similar “chick”.
Origin of the word
During night shifts, young nurses and nurses could provide sexual services to attendants or patients. To pretend that the girl went on business, she took with her a bix - a steel box with dressings.
Thus, if a doctor met along the way to a nurse, he thought that she was going to do a dressing for the patient. By the way, even if the doctors guessed, they often turned a blind eye to this.
Also, this word could occur due to a distortion and change in the meaning of the word “shiksa” (a girl of non-Jewish origin who married a Jew).
