The whale picture
editIt's not clear if the picture of a whale at sea was added as a joke or to illustrate the shape for comparative purposes. If it's the latter, then a better picture is needed. In this one, the tail is dark against a dark background and doesn't stand out clearly. Rodparkes 02:07, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
- Until a better image can be sourced, the one we have will probably do. It does serve as a good comparative illustration. -- JediLofty User ¦ Talk 09:31, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
- So does this term define the rear spoiler of a car or a visible thong? Why do we need that picture to illustrate this? What is the significance of this word and where are the sources that say it's used how this article claims it is? This one's on life support and if it doesn't improve rapidly I'll nominate for deletion. Cumulus Clouds (talk) 18:42, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
- It can be used to mean both, as the sources verify. Sure the article is a stub, but it does have sources which is a lot more than many articles that have survived AfD. While we don't NEED the picture, it is USEFUL to illustrate the first definition. -- JediLofty User ¦ Talk 09:08, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
- Well, which term is this article about? Is there a documented source that says this is actually a commonly used word and this article isn't trying to promote the spread of a protologism? Cumulus Clouds (talk) 21:55, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

Did anyone else notice that the thong in the picture is misworn, as in her waist is through a leg hole? Just curious. Hooya27 (talk) 01:52, 4 December 2020 (UTC)
