How a about big bang? Ellywa 17:08, 25 Sep 2003 (UTC)

Explaining the 'creation' of the universe seemed innapropriate, so I changed it to beggining - Guest.

this says hang


 * An abrupt left turn, in Boston slang; the opposite of this, an abrupt right turn, is a hang

Hair trimmed...
Regarding this edit, and the removal of "the part of the hair overhanging the forehead. Also known as a "fringe" in British English". The reason I added it was to bring it into line with the Fringe article: ''Fringe (hair), the part of the hair overhanging the forehead. Also known as "bangs" in American English'' and the Bangs (hair) article itself: Bangs, also known as a fringe

As per WP:BRD, I've started this here.

 * Both references are unnecessary for disambiguation. I.e., a person looking for "bangs" is not going to need to known that "fringe" is an alternate term for this and vice versa. The additional descriptions in both are unnecessary. older ≠ wiser 15:15, 5 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Hm, why do you assume that? It would seem more likely to me that the opposite is true - a person who does not know what "bangs" are with regard to hair will logically know them by another name - ie "fringe" and vice versa.  They will look them up because they don't know what they are.
 * WP:OTHERSTUFF notwithstanding, but other disambig pages (not least the Fringe disambig itself - as you note) include national variations in describing terms, Jumper for example - and I'm sure others would be just as easy to find. Chaheel Riens (talk) 15:31, 5 January 2018 (UTC)
