English term or phrase: coming-out parties
In a parody show about court room a little person offers a service called "hire a midget".
He says:
AND WHAT I DO, I DO ENTERTAINMENT FOR PARTIES, MOSTLY FRATERNITY PARTIES.

and a comedian commentates:
HE'S ALSO AVAILABLE FOR BAT MITZVAHS, COMING-OUT PARTIES, BAPTISMS.

Does that mean coming-out-of-the-closet parties? or what?

Notes to answerer
Asker: בחרתי במסיבת סיום, כי לא נראה לי ששוכרים גמד כזה לנשף סיום אלא למסיבה פרטית. דיונים הזוים אנחנו מנהלים פה...

agree  Juliana Brown: hard, since coming out parties are, like sweet 16's, the social equivalent of a bat mitzvah...

neutral  Amnon Shapira: באופן בסיס רון וג'וליאנה צודקים. מדובר במסורת של בתי המלוכה באירופה שהתחילה בימי הביניים להציג את הנסיכות הצעירות בחצר המלך בערך בגיל 16. היום יש למסורת הזו גילגולים שונים. התרגום שאני ממליץ הוא "נשף ביכורים".
