- This would appear to be our sense 2, but I think Encarta is wrong about what it means. Equinox ◑ 12:14, 28 April 2020 (UTC)
- @Equinox: Encarta's right:
1. lacking or without a zip 2. (of a sexual encounter) brief but passionate 3. without energy https://www.collinsdictionary.com/us/dictionary/english/zipless

- @Backinstadiums: This is interesting. Basically my understanding of this sense of zipless is that it's only used in "zipless fuck". And my understanding of that was that it had no hindrances or complications (like having to mess around with unzipping trousers, or unhooking bras). If those two dictionaries are correct then I would like to know more about the etymology and see more examples that don't fit our definition (which I wrote). Equinox ◑ 00:09, 5 May 2020 (UTC)

- @Equinox: PLease to check its etymology in the OED 2nd, check this one I've come up with. --Backinstadiums (talk) 01:21, 5 May 2020 (UTC)
