So I’m writing FullMetal Alchemist fic and you know that bit of the Amestrian military uniform? The dangly bit that hangs from the waist? Today I learned the fandom calls this a butt-cape.
I can’t call it a butt-cape. This is a relatively serious story. I can’t use the term “butt-cape” unless it’s someone making fun of the uniform. There is no actual real-world word for this part of the uniform because there is no real-world equivalent for that part of the uniform.
