Topic: Sorry if I missed it

Posted under Tag Alias and Implication Suggestions

Ok, I cleaning up some tags and I just noticed speedo implies underwear. Shouldn't that instead be speedo>swimsuit?
I think someone was confusing briefs(tighty-whiteys) with speedos.

A speedo doesn't necessarily need to be a swimsuit item, AFAIK; I'm pretty sure there are actual white cotton banana hammocks

Speedo is a brand name, like Nike or American Eagle.
The tag really should just be gone.

Alias it to thong or some such.

That doesn't really mean anything any more; it's entered such common usage that it's become a genericized term.

To refer to those ridiculously small men's porksword pockets that were introduced by Speedo brand speedos.

So, swimsuits.
Since that's what Speedo manufactures.

Swimming goggles too I think.

speedo -> swimsuit = good alias.
Why would someone wear a speedo as underwear?

A handful of other swimming accessories too, but somehow I don't think that when someone says, "He's wearing a speedo." that they mean a pair of goggles.

Male strippers, they wear speedos quite often.

Female strippers wear bikinis quite often too, but that doesn't mean we should alias bikini --> underwear.

speedo --> swimsuit: Good alias.

speedo --> underwear: Bad alias.

Changed. Once the implication runs, we have two options.

1. Go through 800 speedo posts, and remove underwear from every one that it doesn't apply to

2. I mass edit and remove underwear from all speedo posts. Go through 800 speedo posts, and add underwear to ones that really have underwear in them.

2 is probably going to be a lot easier.

I would vote 2.
More likely to be less adding that way than would have to be removed the other way.

Or we can go with one, search speedo and underwear, thus cutting down the total numbers to less than 75 images and delete underwear or speedo as needed.

All 800 speedo tags have underwear tag.
That's how implications work.
If you did 1, and searched "speedo underwear" it would return the same results as searching "speedo".

Oh, and I'm gonna count anything with a visible fly as underwear, 'cus after googling speedo none of them appear to have those.

Correct, they do not.

Mass edit tool seems to be broken for the moment and it would be a few days at the very least for an update, so I guess you're stuck with solution 1 for now :P

(Search speedo underwear and remove underwear where not appropriate)
