manteen.

Brit.

/ˈmanˌtiː/, U.S.

/ˈmænˈˌti/

Origin: Of uncertain origin. Perhaps a borrowing from French. Or perhaps from a proper name. Etymon: proper name Mantee.

Etymology: Origin uncertain; perhaps of French origin (see quot. 1941; however, despite Legman's claim, no likely French etymon has been identified), or perhaps from the name of the character Duke Mantee, a swaggering gangster ‘with a convict's gait’ in Robert E. Sherwood's popular play The Petrified Forest (1934). Compare later minty n. and adj.²

U.S. slang. Now archaic and rare.

A lesbian having a masculine manner; a butch (butch n. and adj.).Quot. 1935 suggests that the word may originally have had wider application (perhaps similar to minty n.).
