Tag discussion: cap_backwards

Perhaps I'm just over thinking it, but I think cap_backwards should be aliased to something else. If anything because using just cap in the name this way might cause others to think that the cap tag is also used for hats by those who don't read wikis.

I was thinking that it'd be better to have it aliased any of these: backwards_baseball_cap, baseball_cap_backwards, backwards_hat, or hat_backwards.

Yeah, that struck me a bit, too. I'm lenient toward hat_backwards.

Has their ever been an image that had other forms of hats backwards? or visors?

I'm sure visors have been in some images, atr least.

I'd say hat_backwards probably works.

That seems counter-intuitive to me. I'm thinking of it more from a spoken-language perspective, though. Normally, I would say someone has a backwards hat and not a hat backwards. I suppose, in short, I would suggest backwards_hat instead.

I think it depends on context.

• He is wearing his hat backwards.
• He is wearing a backwards hat.

If you reverse the phrase in either it sounds slightly odd, even though the only thing that changes is "his" to "a". In the first "backwards" is an adverb modifying "wearing", in the second it is an adjective modifying "hat".

Because in the second case though we'd be using the entire noun phrase, rather than a partial verb phrase, I think I'll second Eld on backwards hat.

Since I don't really care either way I'll call it 2 > 1 and go with backwards_hat.

Done.
