hat_hold or holding_hat -- New Tag?

Adjusting it, taking a hold because of wind, or just relieving stress by holding it? Sometimes you can tell, sometimes not.

Simply holding her hat in her hand:

• these are not half as common, but I bet there are more

Please discuss. I am interested in tagging these as I run into them.

Speaking of hold/holding, is that just the convention that's been set up? Because "hand_holding" doesn't sound as natural as "holding_hands". That would bring into question several other tags, though, *_holding and otherwise.

Verb, noun, eh.

Slowpoke, but I'd actually support reversing that. Holding_hands sounds much better.

I definitely support a hat_holding/holding_hat tag. I'm surprised it wasn't already in place.

Reverse alias: hand_holding --> holding_hands
Delete alias: "handholding --> hand_holding"

Arm_holding needs work, too. It doesn't sound quite right either, and the posts over several variations that really ought to be separated. Some of the cases should be moved to arm_hug, which actually sounds natural. Then there's when you have someone's arm looping around another's, not going as far as a hug. Maybe something like "arm_in_arm"... which is currently aliased to arm_holding, though. This and this I'm not so sure about. The former isn't much of a hug (unless it's something like hugging yourself), and the latter is more like an arm pull if anything.

Delete alias: arm_in_arm --> arm_holding

Not delete, change to point to holding_hands / arm_whatever we settle on instead.

The first, I figured wouldn't get used anyway. The second, I was arguing that they aren't the same and should be separated.

locked_arms is currently the tag used for that.

I usually use arm_grab for the first one, but arm_pull may be a better tag for that specific pose. As for the second, similar things are usually tagged breast_hold.

Done.

Delete alias: arm_in_arm --> arm_holding

Given what evazion said, would arm_in_arm get aliased to locked_arms instead?

It would make a lot more sense, at least.

Ok, aliased arm_in_arm to locked_arms, although it doesn't result in any posts moving of course.

There's the tag hat_tip, if it's of any help.

Just randomly found this thread.

I started tagging these some weeks ago, as the tags already existed but were barely used.
post #601378 is holding_hat, all others are hand_on_hat, pretty much for the reasons you said.
hat_tip is more specific. And I've been using hat_over_one_eye once too.
