glistening_skin says "Use when skin has a sheen of specular highlights, typically from moisture."
shiny says "Pictures in which character's skin is shiny, as if they were wet or oiled."
shiny has 826; glistening skin has 76.
Perhaps "shiny" should be renamed to "shiny skin" or something else that is more specific.

Seconding this, maybe with a shiny → shiny_skin alias.
Are there any instances here where "shiny" describes something other than skin? Because when I think of "shiny" IRL, I think of coins, gems, jewelry, polished car rims, false teeth (see Home Alone), certain firearms (see Robocop 1 & 2). Not skin. Ergo, I disagree with "shiny => shiny_skin."
I wish to point out that some instances of "glistening_skin" may have nothing to do with moisture, but possibly a certain particular kind of plastic or rubber (in the case of an android or cyborg).
Also, I prefer "glistening_skin" to "shiny_skin" but I will accept "glistening_skin => shiny_skin"...
(thanks for pointing me to the right thread)
if i get it right the problems are
- moving shiny to something more specific would keep a well-known tag empty
- aliasing shiny to something more specific would be logically wrong
- aliasing glistening_skin to shiny would solve the problem but make a vague tag even bigger
i would suggest the following solution to this:
alias glistening_skin to shiny_skin
shiny_skin implicates shiny
shiny_clothes implicates shiny
shiny_hair implicates shiny
manually clean up shiny -shiny_skin that do show shiny_skin

Makes sense to me. Done except the manual cleanup, which hopefully someone else is ready to tackle.
