Rah-rah skirt : ウィキペディア英語版 | Rah-rah skirt
The rah-rah (or ra-ra) skirt is a short flounced layered skirt that originated in cheerleading and became a popular fashion trend among teenage girls in the early 1980s. As such it marked, as the ''Oxford Dictionary'' noted, the first successful attempt to revive the miniskirt that had been introduced in the mid-1960s.〔''The Oxford Dictionary of New Words'', 1991〕 Later in the 1980s it was often worn with leather, denim or lace.〔See, for example, ''Daily Telegraph'', 19 March 1991〕 In the 1990s the mini came back into fashion in its own right, largely discarding the frills of the rah-rah. However, the latter did return again in Britain in 2008: "Eighties look is all the ra-rave".〔''London Lite'', 12 June 2008〕 Examples of the rah-rah were to be seen on the covers of gramophone records or compact discs such as ''99 Red Balloons'' by Nena (1983) and ''Since Yesterday'' by Strawberry Switchblade (1984). ==Etymology== ''Rah-rah'' is a reduplication〔(Merriam-Webster: Rah-rah )〕 of an abbreviation for "hurrah",〔(Merriam-Webster: Rah )〕 which is used as a synonym for "cheering".
