Topic: The 2019 cowkini deserves its own tag. (unalias request)

Posted under Tag Alias and Implication Suggestions

The bulk update request #12834 is pending approval.

remove alias cowkini (0) -> cow_print_bikini (2297)

Reason: While the term has become genericized, it was originally created as a hashtag to refer to this specific thing, which is not actually a bikini, back in 2019. And while the hashtag no longer works because X is broken af, Searching FA for "cowkini" posts between 2019 and 2021 shows almost entirely results for this specific outfit.

In the meantime, I can try to hunt down all the posts with this outfit and put them into a set to make it easy to retag them afterwards.

Don't see how that's not a bikini. It looks like a relatively modest sling bikini to me.

Conservative variations of sling bikinis may cover a fair amount of skin: some featuring a wide band across the breasts, or straps around the sides to hold the bands in place. Less conservative versions consist of "three postage stamps and two pieces of dental floss."
