Hungarian term or phrase: leányvásár
Ennyi. Tudom, hogy pontosan nem ilyen fajta, de hasonló kaptafára "készült" össznépi esemény létezik az angolszász világban, annyi különbséggel, hogy nem lányokat nézegetnek a fiúk, hanem a fiúkra licitálnak lányok. Ez lehetne egy kiinduló pont, sajnos ennek az angol elnevezését sem találtam meg. Minden tippet megköszönök.
