1640年代,用于纺织面料的“绒毛细软的”,后来在1660年代指“轻而薄弱的”,这是一个来源未知的词。一种理论认为它是“Silesia”地区的“Silesia,”的变形,该地区生产薄亚麻或棉质面料出口。在1670年代,被称为“sleasie”的地毯纺织品开始出现在英国; 直到17世纪末,被称为“sleazy”的缩写形式才开始出现,但牛津英语词典发现证据反对“任何最初的联系”。"Sordid, squalid"的意思是从1941年开始的。相关词汇:"Sleazily","sleaziness"。
"Slesie linnen, so calld becaus brought from the province of Silesia, or as the Germans call it Schlesia, wher the capital city Breslaw is maintaind by this manufacture, which is the chief if not the only merchandize of that place." [from notes on Lansdowne manuscripts by antiquarian Bishop White Kennett (1660-1728), quoted in Halliwell]
“Slesie 的亚麻布,因从西里西亚地区运来而被称为此名,或如德国人所称, Schlesia,该地区首府是由此制成的纺织品支持的,这是该地区的主要货物,如果不是唯一的”(出自白肯尼特主教(1660-1728)的兰斯代尔手稿注释,引用于霍利威尔)。
A day is a more magnificent cloth than any muslin, the mechanism that makes it is infinitely cunninger, and you shall not conceal the sleazy, fraudulent, rotten hours you have slipped into the piece, nor fear that any honest thread, or straighter steel, or more inflexible shaft, will not testify in the web. [Emerson, "The Conduct of Life," 1860]
白天比任何纱布更豪华,制造它的机制无比狡猾,你不能隐瞒那些薄弱、欺诈、腐烂的时间,你已经将它们掺杂到其中,也不必担心任何诚实的线、直钢或者更不灵活的轴不会在布中证明。[爱默生,《人生的行为》,1860]
