  • 11 мышиный жеребчик

    уст., шутл., пренебр.
    lit. little mouse-stallion; cf. sugar daddy; old skirt chaser

    Он непринуждённо и ловко разменялся с некоторыми из дам приятными словами, подходил к той и другой дробным, мелким шагом, или, как говорят, семенил ножками, как обыкновенно делают маленькие старички-щёголи на высоких каблуках, называемые мышиными жеребчиками, забегающие весьма проворно около дам. (Н. Гоголь, Мёртвые души) — Unconstrainedly and adroitly he exchanged pleasantries with some of the ladies, approaching now one, now another with brisk, small steps or, as they say, he minced along, as little aged beaux do upon built-up heels (they call such old gallants little mouse-stallions), prancing around the ladies quite spryly.
