OP browsing through a dictionary of foreign words and phrases the other day - as you do - I came across this phrase , attributed to Balzac, meaning literally "a woman of 30", but defined as "a woman who has passed the age at which romantic affairs are easily enjoyed".
Does that mean she can't get affairs easily, or she can't enjoy them when she does get 'em? Or does it mean that her hypothetical paramour doesn't enjoy it? Does anyone know?
