3 Aunt Sally
1) "тётушка Салли" (название народной игры, заключающейся в том, чтобы с известного расстояния выбить битой глиняную трубку изо рта деревянной женской головы, поставленной на столб, или попасть ей в нос)They wandered among the sideshows and the many booths where a game of luck or of throwing skill tried to find an exciting new name-spinning-wheels and coco-nut shies, pig-pelting and Aunt Sally... (J. Lindsay, ‘A Local Habitation’, ch. 18) — В других павильонах посетители имели возможность попытать счастья или проверить сноровку и глазомер - владельцы аттракционов старались перещеголять друг друга зазывными рекламами: "вертящееся колесо", "стрельба кокосовым орехом", "охота на свинью", "тетушка Салли"...
2) мишень для нападок или оскорблений (часто о домыслах, выдвигаемых с целью их дальнейшего опровержения)Well, you've set us both up as figures of fun, haven't you? A couple of Aunt Sallies? (P. H. Johnson, ‘The Survival of the Fittest’, part V, ch. VII) — В своей книге вы ведь нас выставили на посмешище. Избрали мишенью для нападок.
The crowd made him an aunt Sally and threw snowballs at him. (DEI) — Толпа людей, потешаясь над ним, забрасывала его снежками.
