    «Завязки фартука». To be tied to one's mother's apron strings («быть привязанным к завязкам фартука своей мамы») в настоящее время означает «быть зависимым от своей матери в самостоятельном возрасте». В этом значении фраза использовалась с начала XIX в. и являлась намёком на материнский собственнический инстинкт или нежелание нести ответственность за что-либо. Раньше, однако, упоминались завязки фартука жены, и это имело юридическое значение. В XVIII в. an apron-string hold или apron-string tenure (собственность, владение) относились к имуществу жены, и муж мог им распоряжаться только с её разрешения. Муж мог наследовать его после смерти жены, а мог и лишиться в пользу другого наследника её отца. Такие условия давали жене в то время гораздо больше власти и влияния, чем обычно. В действительности имущество, а не муж, было привязано к фартуку жены, но легко заметить, как значение этого выражения передаёт идею женского главенства.

    Anna has been going with Kevin for years, but they are unlikely to get married. He is tied to his mother's apron strings and she doesn't approve of Anna as a daughter-in-law. — Анна встречается с Кевином многие годы, но они вряд ли поженятся. Он маменькин сынок, а его мама не одобряет Анну как свою будущую невестку.

    Слово apron представляет особый интерес, т. к. это искажённое французское слово naperon, означающее маленькую скатерть, настольную салфетку, и сначала говорили a napron. Именно это слово и превратилось в an apron (фартук).
