Batkini

Batkini: noun. A type of swim suit which covers the entire body except for the face, hands and feet, intended to comply with Islamic traditions of modest dress, with bat ears on top. With this adage, when a wearer is requested or instructed to remove the batkini, they can claim to be wearing a Batman costume, which can either be interpreted to mean a costume of the well-known comic book superhero, or a traditional dress from the city of Batman, Turkey, whichever floats the requestors proverbial boat.
