Talk:Monokini
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- There were until now much more old talk on this page, but I think it was more related to microkinis than monokinis, so I move it to Talk:Microkini. -*Ulla* 21:37, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The microkini is NOT a monokini
Although most microkini-wearing females will occasionally go without the top, manufacturers and vendors selling microkinis sell these suits usually as top and bottom sets. Thus, there is absolutely no reason for the microkini to be merged with monokini; in other words, the microkini is NOT a subcategory of the monokini (which is a female-only design); instead, for the females it is a very skimpy version of a bikini or a one-piece suit and for the males, a very skimpy thong or g-string. Plain and simple. Elp gr 15:20, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

- Good thinking. By moving it to its own article, we're avoiding confusion. Elp gr 19:22, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Bikini Atoll
This article makes a point of clarifying the etymology of monokini as being flawed, but it doesn't specify the etymology of bikini as used in Bikini Atoll, and neither does that article. It's still possible based on this articles text that monokini is the correct construction, can we get a source that at least specifies that bikini is not derived from Greek?
