     A definition for round-heel can be found in the Supplement of Partridge's Dictionary of Slang and Unconventional English, 5th Edition, 1961: "sexually compliant; a girl with heels so round that the least push will put her on her back. 


    That's all of what I could find.  Get the book from the library since it costs over $50.00 which is too pricey for me, plus it's not available for the Kindle.  Sorry I couldn't be of more assistance.

    Promiscuous. It is meant to suggest that the girl -or guy- in question tips backwards easily i.e. is ready for sexual intercourse in the missionary position.

    She's slept with everybody in class. That girl sure has round heels

    Thank you figtree. I didn't think about looking in the urban dictionary. Does it happen to state the origin of the phrase? Good job. TU

    I still can't find the origin! A book uses it in it's title, if you'd like to read the books description it is at the bottom half of the page.
    Thanks.

    figtree3, I took your advice and have started reading A Round Heeled Woman... So far so good. It states that a round heeled woman was once slang for a prostitute. However, no origin as of yet. r/yvonne57

    Wow, old question, but the term "roundheel" was used in 1800's England to refer to a prostitute, especially one who was on the streets (as opposed to in a brothel).  Instead of having a room to go to, she would take her client into an alleyway, lift her skirts and lean back against the wall.  Having "round heels" implied that she was just as comfortable leaning back like that as she was standing straight, so was always ready for sex.

    "Well heeled" Dougal!
    That's the definition of a good hooker.

    In 1926, a "roundheel" was a boxer that was easily defeated because his heels were so round that he could be easily pushed onto his back by his opponent.  Soon it referred to prostitutes because it was easy to get them on their backs.  It is also used to describe a very gullible person, a pushover.  

    Fabian is from the Netherlands, but recorded this video while on vacation in Italy. He bought a Rolex Explorer II a few years ago, wore it almost every day, but ended up selling it – and then buying link another one. He says that now that te steel he's reunited with the Explorer II, he won't part with it again. Fabian celebrated his 50th birthday in August (a belated Happy Birthday!), and his family gave him The Watch Book: Rolex for a little link vacation reading.
