List of euphemisms

The list of euphemisms is amusing, but this article doesn't seem to me to be the right place for it. Any suggestions?Jimjamjak (talk) 13:43, 29 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The Keyhole Fly

Could you please put some info into the article about the use of the "Keyhole Fly" in modern day garments and how it works as there is little information on it! A photo of either some male underwear with a keyhole fly would also be useful for the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.207.97.77 (talk) 22:17, 2 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Wrong link in french

Fly shouldn't be linked with the french article braguette; Codpiece should. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A01:CB10:8B0C:C900:65D4:BDE9:C009:2C9A (talk) 08:43, 31 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

As a native French speaker, I disagree. The word braguette refers indeed to the opening at the front of trousers which, in English, would be called a fly. To my knowledge, there isn't any word in common usage in French that refers specifically to a codpiece, as an element of a garment distinct from a fly. In fact, given that colloquial language lacks a word for it, I doubt many people in France even know what a codpiece is, or what to call it if the item was described to them. Maybe the word braguette once used to refer to a codpiece as well, I do not know; but if this was ever the case this meaning has definitely fallen well out of use as codpieces fell out of fashion, and now instead always refers to a fly.
