Camel Toe and Breast Clevage? Are you serious? Come up with just one reason that belly fat due to tight jeans has to do with the camel toe and the breast clevage (or are we just dealing with some interesting perverts?) Mercer5089 04:39, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
muffin tops r eww
Aren't muffin tops usually the result of women buying jeans which are too small to satisfy their vanity? For many women, a small jeans size is a source of pride. Rintrah 21:29, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
A picture of a muffin top girl would be helpful to the reader. I don't think most readers will find it gratuitously sexual. Rintrah 16:46, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
I removed this example On an episode of The Oprah Winfrey Show, Stacy London (host of TLC's What Not to Wear) noted the muffin top as the number one jean-related fashion crime. because it is not notable — at least, no one has proven to me that it is. Even for a fun topic like this, non-notable examples should be excluded. Rintrah 09:32, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
- what?!?! you are telling me oprah isn't notably?? :o Mathmo 09:19, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
- Yeah. To anyone who doesn't live in the USA, she isn't. Moreover, her shows are not, and a reference to a slang term in one of her shows is even less notable. Rintrah 14:00, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
- you are way off the ballpark here, her shows are replayed all over the world. she is at times regarded by various media sources as the most influential women and richest (as a side note i'll point out I totally hate her shows and don't watch them) Mathmo 17:49, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
- In Australia her shows are played as B-grade television. She only has a small following here. I assume it is the same in other western countries other than America. She probably doesn't have a large following in any one country other than America, but has a large following overall when all countries are considered together.
- the point is in australia her shows ARE played there. Same as over here in nz, sure it is showed during the day time along with the rest of the day time tv rubbish but they are showed. and as you are said this pattern is repeated all over the world with her shows shown in many many countries. this all puts her waaaaaaaay over the notable threshold by far with complete ease.

- The mX is also notable by your criteria. Should I randomly add references to it in culture, fashion, pop-culture, and world events articles? The question is not, is she notable? It is, is she relevant? Although Neighbours is notable, because it is a successful show, I am not going to add a paragraph to the Hostage article because there is a hostage situation in one of the episodes. Let us not satisfy Oprah's already immense vanity by pretending she deserves plenty of space in encyclopedia articles. Rintrah 09:08, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Rename
This article should be renamed/moved to "Muffin top" because there is no reason to make the subject plural. Wikipedia prefers singular subjects for articles. Additionally, the article only uses the term in the singular. -Phoenixrod 14:10, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
- I support your proposal. The curious reason the article refers to the subject in singular is I made it do so, but I second your reason nonetheless. My preferred title is "Muffin Top Girl", because it is the only term I have heard for a muffin-scuplted girl. Rintrah 14:20, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
- Done. Rintrah 13:36, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
- Has no one ever heard of the southern expression "Belt Overhang?" 66.108.144.49 01:34, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
- No, but on first impression it seems to have sexual connotations. Is the word applied to men or women? Men's fat hangs over trousers differently to women's. With men, it is gross; with women, it looks silly. Rintrah 07:20, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
