Wardrobe malfunction
A wardrobe malfunction is accidental exposure of intimate parts. It is different from indecent exposure or flashing, as the latter ones imply a deliberate exposure. There has been a long history of such incidents, though the term itself was coined in the mid-2000s and has become one of the most common fashion faux pas.〔Elaine's inadvertently exposed nipple in her photo Christmas card forms a plotline in the ''Seinfeld'' episode "The Pick", 1992.〕 Justin Timberlake first used the term referring to the Super Bowl XXXVIII halftime show controversy, issuing a scripted apology at the 2004 Grammy Awards. The phrase "wardrobe malfunction" has since been used by the media to refer to the incident and has entered pop culture.
==Etymology==
The American Dialect Society defines it as "an unanticipated exposure of bodily parts."〔(Word of the Year ), American Dialect Society, 2005〕 Global Language Monitor, which tracks usage of words on the internet and in newspapers worldwide, identified the term as the top Hollywood contribution to English (HollyWordie) in 2004, surpassing words like ''girlie men'', ''Yo!'' and ''frass''.〔(Top HollyWORDIEs of 2007 ), The Global Language Monitor〕〔Toby Macdonald, "(Parley Hollywood: Keira invents new languages )," ''Sunday Mail''〕 The term was also one of the new entrants into the ''Chambers Dictionary'' in 2008, along with words like ''electrosmog'', ''carbon footprint'', ''credit crunch'' and ''social networking''.〔"(Electrosmog enters the dictionary )," BBC〕 The dictionary defines it as "the temporary failure of an item of clothing to do its job in covering a part of the body that it would be advisable to keep covered."〔"(Dictionary suffers a wardrobe malfunction )," ''The Mercury'', 2008-08-15〕 One source defines it as, accidental and indecent exposure of body parts by a fault in someone's clothing (especially that of a performer) or by an error made while changing this costume.〔(Wardrobe malfunction ), AllWords.com〕
The term is credited as having been coined by singers Justin Timberlake and Janet Jackson, on February 1, 2004, to explain the Super Bowl XXXVIII halftime show controversy; the controversy is in reference to Jackson's right breast having been bared.〔 Timberlake apologized for the incident, stating he was "sorry that anyone was offended by the wardrobe malfunction during the halftime performance of the Super Bowl...." The term ''wardrobe malfunction'' appeared in numerous stories in major US consumer and business publications, newspapers, and major TV and radio broadcasts.〔Rich Eisen, ''Total Access'', page 36, Macmillan, 2007, ISBN 0-312-36978-6〕 Journalist Eric Alterman described the incident as "the most famous 'wardrobe malfunction' since Lady Godiva."〔Eric Alterman, ''Why We're Liberals: A Political Handbook for Post-Bush America'', page 186, Penguin USA, 2008, ISBN 0-670-01860-0〕
The American Dialect Society had a number of related terms for word of the year nominations in 2004, including ''Janet moment'' (unplanned bodily exposure at a public function), ''boobgate'' (scandal over Janet Jackson's exposed breast), ''nipplegate'' (like boobgate, but used earlier in squawk over Jackson's possible nipple ring) and ''wardrobe malfunction'' (overexposure in a mammary way).〔Wayne Glowka, (2004 Words of the Year Nominations ), American Dialect Society〕 The term has been translated into other languages to describe similar incidents, including ''garderobedefect'' (Dutch), ''incident de garde-robe'' (French), ''disfunzione del guardaroba'' or ''incidente del guardaroba'' (Italian), and ''mal funcionamiento del guardarropa'' (Spanish).〔
