Aunt Sallyn.

Brit.

/ˌɑːnt ˈsali/,

/ˌant ˈsali/, U.S.

/ˌænt ˈsæli/,

/ˌɑnt ˈsæli/

Origin: From proper names, combined with an English element. Etymons: aunt n., proper name Sally, Sarah.

Etymology: < aunt n. + the female forename Sally, pet form of Sarah, probably after My Old Aunt Sally, the title of a popular blackface minstrel song composed by Dan Emmett in 1843.Sally was a common female forename for black slaves in the southern United States in the early 19th cent.

Originally and chiefly British.

1. A game traditionally played in some parts of England, in which players throw sticks or balls at a wooden target (formerly also Old Aunt Sally). Also: the target used in such a game.In early use the target was a dummy representing a black woman's head with a pipe in its mouth or nose, the aim of players being to break the pipe or knock it to the ground; the target or doll (see doll n.¹ Additions) is now usually a more abstract shape, typically resembling a skittle with a large spherical head, and points are scored by knocking this off its stand.The game apparently originated as an attraction at racecourses; in the mid 20th century it underwent a revival in Oxfordshire and neighbouring counties as a pub game.
