| '''Wardrobe malfunction''' is a ] used to describe the accidental exposure of an ] or parts of the body due to a defect in an article or articles of ]. Most famously, it was used for the first time by ] to explain the ], a ] ] incident in which the malfunction resulted in what was claimed to be the "unintentional" baring of most of ]'s right ]. | |||
| The ] named the phrase as '' "Hollywood's Top Word or Phrase for Impact on the English language"'', as a phrase which had the most influence on the language for the year. <ref>http://www.languagemonitor.com/wst_page15.html</ref> | |||
| The term has remained popular in part because of the humor associated with its ]istic and overly technical quality when used as an explanation for the Super Bowl incident, which many believe was actually an intentional ]. This suspicion is strengthened by the fact that Jackson was wearing a ], which emphasized her ], and by the lyric Timberlake was singing immediately prior: "Gonna have you naked by the end of this song". Jackson also took her time in covering up. In 2007, CBS asserted that Jackson and Timberlake had confirmed to CBS that they had "independently and clandestinely" planned the exposure.<ref> Tue Sep 11 (Reuters, on Yahoo.com News</ref> | |||
| The term has subsequently been used to describe a piece of clothing that stayed ''on'', as for example in 2005 when ] failed to remove his gloves before shaking hands with ] officials. | |||
| Slang Internet terms representing a wardrobe accident include '']'' (referring to the embarrassment caused by being caught in such a situation), ''nipple slip''/''breast slip'', and '']''. | |||
| ] relish these embarrassing situations and are eager to capture these occurrences. It is often argued that many of these "shots" are staged by celebrities, and although ostensibly accidental, seem more like impulsive publicity stunts. | |||
| ==Nipple slips== | |||
| A '''nipple slip''' is the accidental exposure of a woman's ] in public. Nipple slips are very popular in the world of celebrity ], and on celebrity driven gossip blogs and websites. ]’s ] wardrobe malfunction may be the most well known nipple slip of all time but many other celebrities have endured or in some cases apparently courted the publicity.

The ] however, did not notice. ], Campbell's co-star in the film, makes allusions in the ] that Campbell intentionally flashed the camera; promotional photos by ] support this theory, as Campbell is clearly bursting out of the corset then as well. Viewing the scene in that context, it appears that Campbell does not push her bustier back up, but instead accentuates the fall-out. | |||
| * A widely reported wardrobe malfunction happened on ], ]. A ] on '']'' was called to "come on down". As she ran to contestant's row her ] slipped down, exposing her ]s. <!--A huge blue ] with the word "''OOPS''" in it censored her breasts.--> Host ] was oblivious to the incident, as she was one of the first four contestants and Barker awaited announcer/sidekick ]'s entrance cue in an area that did not then have a TV monitor. After Barker made his entrance, he remarked that the hysterical audience members had "taken leave of their senses", then Olson quipped''"Bob, they have given their all for you!".'' Then Barker mentioned to Olson, "whatever brought this on...this is how I want it every day from now on!" Barker, who was told about the mishap during the commercial break, has been known to say regarding the incident, "She came on down and they came on out!" '']'' also parodied the wardrobe malfunction in a skit. | |||
