peer agreement (net): +1waist Explanation: waist, waist measurements -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2003-10-26 01:41:57 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- It refers to the size and measurment of one\'s waist when one is being fitted for clothing. Good luck!! -Dan -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2003-10-26 03:04:05 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- \"Waist measurments\" is the more specific term, and I suppose the correct one, but \"waist\" by itself is easily understood in this context (i.e. \"Now, I\'m going to measure your waist.\"). -Dan -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2003-10-27 01:28:44 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- If you would prefer, you might be able to get away with using \"waist size\". It would most likely be understood. However, it is not a common term and I would recommend using one of the first two answers that I proposed. -Dan |
