Talk:Onesie (jumpsuit)

US term

Are they called footed pyjamas in US English, cf. [1]? --Twid (talk) 22:16, 29 January 2013 (UTC)

Not absolutely! They are called pajamas if they are designed for sleeping. These "onesies" which have become so popular are rather being used as loungewear or for jogging or short walks. But thin one-piece suits for babies and toddlers also called onesies. Hasn't the term "adult onesie" been taken over from the term n the meaning of infant bodysuit? --Jacek79 (talk) 19:21, 25 February 2013 (UTC)

Hmmmm, it's my impression onesies in the UK are used primarily in the home, and less commonly in public. --Twid (talk) 14:54, 2 March 2013 (UTC)

A Google search finds twice as many hits for the term "jump suit" as "onesie".—Anne Delong (talk) 22:39, 25 February 2013 (UTC)

Sure, but at least in UK English, a onesie and a jump suit aren't the same thing. --Twid (talk) 11:19, 27 February 2013 (UTC)

Is it possible that the term onesie has been being used for a couple of years for anti-advertising (and sometimes for advertising) these loose-fit hooded loungewear jumpsuits ("adult onesie")? Of course, an infant onesie is something slightly different. --Jacek79 (talk) 20:53, 27 February 2013 (UTC)

What's really interesting is these aren't actually onesies at all. These are bunny suits (minus the hood). A onesie has no legs. But, given how intellectually decrepit this whole cultural thing is, it's not inconsistent that it would associate itself with the wrong word entirely. 68.2.235.85 (talk) 18:30, 13 September 2015 (UTC)

You are wrong. A onesie deffinitely has legs. It is not a bodysuit. Skogsvandraren (talk) 17:41, 11 May 2016 (UTC)

Supported?

What do you mean by "supported"? Do you mean that they like them? Wear them? Are paid advertisers? This information is not in the references provided. Please find a reliable source. —Anne Delong (talk) 22:50, 25 February 2013 (UTC)

Name of this article

Is this article name really good? What's nation specific about the garment? Shouldn't it preferably be called 'adult onsie' or something like that?Cecil Huber (talk) 23:20, 25 May 2013 (UTC)

Onesie (UK) → Onesie – I don't understand why the word should have a national designation to it. Is it a national uniform? I don't think so. If the unchanged word onesie for some reason shouldn't be used, use another distinguishing word instead, like "adult" or "adult size". Cecil Huber (talk) 07:15, 26 May 2013 (UTC)

• Support. I can't see any reason for the "UK" in the title. DoctorKubla (talk) 08:44, 26 May 2013 (UTC)
• Support. Unnecessary disamgiguation. Zarcadia (talk) 18:28, 26 May 2013 (UTC)
• Speedy close and move please. This is absurd. Please, Cecil Huber, request moves like this as technical moves instead, as there's no way this could be controversial. Red Slash 21:21, 26 May 2013 (UTC)
  • Comment: IMO, this should NOT be treated as an uncontroversial technical move. It was the OP who changed the Onesie redirect from Infant bodysuit to Onesie (UK) just a few days before posting this RM discussion.[2] Thus, this discussion should also include if there is consensus to change the primary topic of "onesie", which dates back to at least 2009.[3] Zzyzx11 (talk) 00:50, 27 May 2013 (UTC)
    • That's exactly the reason why I wanted a discussion about it. Cecil Huber (talk) 22:38, 27 May 2013 (UTC)
• Support; as above, nothing I can say that hasn't been said before. bobrayner (talk) 22:27, 26 May 2013 (UTC)
• Oppose. Until this week, Onesie redirected to Infant bodysuit, which has a hatnote pointing to Onesie (UK). We should revert to the status quo until there's a consensus to reverse which topic is primary. Powers ^T 00:34, 27 May 2013 (UTC)
  • The former status quo was not very good, since the garment in this article is what is called a onesie nowadays. The tradmark for infant's bodysuits is not onesie but Onesies. Either way, do you really think "UK" is a good way to sort this suit out from the what the trademark may stand for? Cecil Huber (talk) 22:38, 27 May 2013 (UTC)
• Strong oppose infant bodysuit is the proper destination. The garment in this article is not what is called a onesie nowadays. Prove that this "onesie" is what is meant in Australia, South Africa and the United States. -- 65.94.76.126 (talk) 00:40, 28 May 2013 (UTC)
  • Comment this article can be renamed Onesie (jumpsuit) after the brand is split off (that material is more appropriate at infant bodysuit anyways.) -- 65.94.76.126 (talk) 00:45, 28 May 2013 (UTC)
    • Fine, I can live with that solution. What do you think should happen to the headline "onesie", should that become a disambiguation page? Cecil Huber (talk) 16:45, 28 May 2013 (UTC)
      • Yes, that would work fine, as we would have three articles (jumpsuit, brand, infant bodysuit) -- 65.94.76.126 (talk) 09:56, 29 May 2013 (UTC)
• Support 65.94.76.126 Three articles Onesie (jumpsuit), brand, infant bodysuit In ictu oculi (talk) 15:16, 31 May 2013 (UTC)
• Support 65.94.76.126 Three articles also, sounds like the best solution all round. Mabalu (talk) 11:51, 3 June 2013 (UTC)
• Oppose, when I first read this, I thought this article was going to go to Infant bodysuit, which is not the common name here in the US, but Onesie is. If the term is used differently in the UK, there should be a disambig page with links to both articles.--RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 20:03, 3 June 2013 (UTC)
  • Comment: I don't know what is more common, but it seems the term onesie for adult size suits are used in the US too. See e.g. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ds1feO7sqRo Cecil Huber (talk) 21:41, 4 June 2013 (UTC)

{{split apart}}

The "Onesies" brand should be in a separate article Onesies (brand), since it is not about these adult babysuits, it is about the infant babysuit brand. So, it shouldn't be in this article at all, since it is a different topic. -- 65.94.76.126 (talk) 00:43, 28 May 2013 (UTC)

• Support just as well, for why should a brand name be redirected to a generic word? Cecil Huber (talk) 16:47, 28 May 2013 (UTC)
• Support per Hoover Company and vacuum cleaner, we cannot have a company and generic in same article. In ictu oculi (talk) 15:12, 31 May 2013 (UTC)

In French

Why isn't there links to other languages, like French? [4] — Preceding unsigned comment added by Is in the 1sie (talk • contribs) 18:23, 7 October 2013 (UTC)

Probably because there is no article about this kind of suit on the French Wikipedia. If you know French well enough, I think you would be welcome to create one. Cecil Huber (talk) 22:30, 3 February 2014 (UTC)

In Spanish

There is also a word for it in Spanish. [5] — Preceding unsigned comment added by Is in the 1sie (talk • contribs) 19:29, 7 October 2013 (UTC)

Origin

Some person or perhaps more than one who are not logged in, keeps removing sourced information from this page without explanation. The information is about the origin of these kinds of suits, so its relevant to have it here. If you think it should be removed, please explain why.

Also, someone added information about some other origin of the suit in January this year. That information gave no name and had no source, so it had to go. If you have any reference to back the claim up, add it, or it will not have its place in this article. Cecil Huber (talk) 22:28, 3 February 2014 (UTC)

Impact in Germany

The impact was so hard, a german noname columnist wrote a comment in a very special niche of a niche in an online newspaper... Seriously, there was no such thing as an impact and nobody cared, cares or even knows about "onesies" in Germany except for fetish creeps and party gags --95.91.238.67 (talk) 23:18, 3 February 2015 (UTC)

So this columnist is a liar? That's interesting in its own way, I suppose. Snowsuit Wearer (talk|contribs) 20:33, 25 April 2015 (UTC)
