Talk:flap

flap
The vagina. I've heard of "flaps" (plural) for the labia minora, but not this. Equinox ◑ 11:00, 22 September 2013 (UTC)
 * I think people get confused between the external and internal feminine genitalia. I blame the very limited amount of pornography available on the web. SemperBlotto (talk) 11:07, 22 September 2013 (UTC)
 * We're talking about the singular here referring to the vagina. I suppose it might be citable, if so it's a citable error due to misunderstanding. Mglovesfun (talk) 11:41, 22 September 2013 (UTC)

 * "Madonga is not blonde. Her flap-hairs are sooty." [sic]

 * "The swell of her hips sent electric shocks through his fingers, like when he licked her flap only a million times more."
 * 2010 Slave Mines of Tormunil
 * "He lifted her leg and opened her flap on the side that was lifted and again made her squeeze."


 * Such literature we are exposed to in the search for citations. ~sigh~

 * The definition should be changed to "the vulva." This isn't an isolated case, either. I've had to correct entries in which someone conflated vagina with vulva before (for example, vajazzle).
 * Also, I hear you, Catsidhe. -Cloudcuckoolander (talk) 14:13, 22 September 2013 (UTC)
 * (edit conflict) Now, I know my way around female genitalia about as well as I know my way around the surface of Mars, but from the cites it sounds more like the vulva than the vagina to me. —Aɴɢʀ (talk) 14:42, 22 September 2013 (UTC)


 * Frankly, I don't think most slang terms are that anatomically precise. I'd suggest going the road of prat (Etym 2, Noun Def 3.), and define it as "the female genitals". (Which is probably the intended less specific meaning of "vagina" used there anyway.)
 * I would say labia or female genitals since vagina is technically wrong and vulva isn't a very precise word either. Soap (talk) 01:20, 26 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Can someone please now ask for verification of some high minded word which I could google for while at work? --Catsidhe (verba, facta) 00:39, 23 September 2013 (UTC)
 * These don't seem to support the challenged definition. Mglovesfun (talk) 11:05, 23 September 2013 (UTC)
 * How so? --Catsidhe (verba, facta) 11:48, 23 September 2013 (UTC)

RFV discussion: January–February 2023
Rfv-sense "(veterinary medicine) A disease in the lips of horses." A sense that has been there since the page was created, but I cannot find anything about it other than some old dictionary entries (indeed, I think this is copied from one of them), so it may be a ghost word, or at the very least an archaic term for a disease that is now known by some other name. &mdash; S URJECTION / T / C / L / 14:39, 23 January 2023 (UTC)


 * OED has four quotations Ioaxxere (talk) 01:03, 24 January 2023 (UTC)


 * Citations are in the 1st edition so can be imported without copyright issues. There are a few problems worth noting, though: the sense is marked plural-only (per the citations: "a sign of flaps", "when a horse has the flaps"), and the last citation is a mention, specifically of flaps in the mouth. The Farrier's Dict. one can be seen in original context here, and since it's more like an encyclopedia than a glossary it's probably fine. Since it's plural I reckon it should be moved to flaps as an obsolete sense. —Al-Muqanna المقنع (talk) 04:21, 24 January 2023 (UTC)
