This leaves us only with the restriction that the nipple then shouldn't be shown. If we follow this definition, then that would mean that in the image there will have to be something like clothing or hair that is covering the breasts/nipples.

I never bothered bringing it up on the forum, but I created an areola_slip tag for that a while back. I left it singular because, as you state, it's possible for only one areola to be visible. It's still comparatively rare for only one to be visible, though.

I'm sticking with my intial reaction that it should be areola.

Also take into account special cases such as "panties". All the panty tags should technically be *_panty - but it sounds retarded, so we use *_panties.

I'm not going to go into detail because it will further derail this thread but I suggest you go research this because it's not correct at all.

While you are correct, and that you don't refer to a pair of panties as a "panty", it is still correct to refer to them that way in some places.

What I was trying to emphasize is that the English language isn't totally rigid - sometimes terms that can be perceived as incorrect, but "click" more with people are OK to use (though, I guess my examples didn't really fit-in very well with that at all).

But anyway, I just think using areloa over areolae is one of those instances.
