Noun
cameltoe (plural cameltoes)
- (slang) The visible outline of a woman's labia or vulva, as a consequence of wearing tight pants.
- Synonyms: frontal wedgie, moose knuckle, ninja foot
- 2003, Matt Goias (lyrics and music), “Cameltoe”, performed by FannyPack:
- fix yourself girl / you got a cameltoe
- 2003 May 23, Kelefah Sanneh, “Fashion Tip in Rap for Brooklyn Girls”, in New York Times[1]:
- A good question, although answering it requires a certain tact. Cameltoe is slang for a fashion faux pas caused by women wearing snug pants; the term suggests a visual analogy. The song is a cautionary tale, intended to help victims – help them, that is, by ridiculing them – into recovery.
- 2006 April 21, Kathleen Fasanella, “Anatomy of a Cameltoe, part 1”, in Fashion Incubator[2], archived from the original on 2015-10-16:
- Most of the time, camel toe is rarely the extreme you see on certain websites; it's more subtle than that. Most of the time, camel toe is caused by wearing pants that are too big—in one specific area—making a reciprocal area too small. It's an engineering problem, not a weight problem. In fact, here's a skinny mannequin. If she's got a camel toe, everyone else will too.
- 2007 November 27, Hadley Freeman, “Miaow!”, in The Guardian[3]:
- Alicia Keyes generously saves me from having to explain what exactly a camel toe is in anatomical detail, but for those who need a little help, let's just say the words "crotch outline" and let that suffice.
- (slang) The pudendal cleft itself.
