Not sure what sense of "tog" it would be, if it's real. DTLHS (talk) 05:14, 25 October 2017 (UTC)
From what I can see, it's "togs", which in this part of the world means swimwear. And from the sources I see, it only applies to swimwear. I have therefore updated the plural entry (and cited it), but I am leaving the singular entry to go through the usual RFV process in case someone can find support for it. However, if someone wanted to speedy-delete the singular, I would not object. Kiwima (talk) 10:37, 25 October 2017 (UTC)
- One hit for the singular on Usenet. It borders on mention rather than use, though:
- "'Dick togs?' I've heard of tick (hound) dogs, but never a dick tog!" Khemehekis (talk) 01:06, 26 October 2017 (UTC)
- That's clearly a hypothetical use for the purpose of a pun, I would call it a mention. The actual uses in that thread are in the plural. Kiwima (talk) 05:12, 26 October 2017 (UTC)
- The only use of the singular outside social media that I could find was here, but it is from an unpublished conference paper. Lingo Bingo Dingo (talk) 12:37, 27 October 2017 (UTC)
