People should know what stand-in words mean. I mean, if you don't a large amount of American English would be damaged apon translating (or even shorthanding/longhanding), and people have to use English words on this site for a reason.I mean, do you know why a female can be called a cougar, or what in-bed roleplaying is? You need to assume that people know the basics of English on this site, and some sexual terminology; I might halfheartedly believe everyone is an idiot, but even such "idiots" know how to use a dictionary if they're on this site.
But wittiness aside, being a prey towards a predator can be interpreted literally to understand what the prey_bulge tag means. We wouldn't tag them, themselves, as predator or prey because contexts that remove that, but you can refer to them in English as a predator and a prey... right?
So in this case, the prey would be the character inside another, while the character who has the prey inside them would be the predator? Wouldn't that be somewhat confusing if the prey in this scenario was the dominant partner? There's also the traditional roles of predator and prey among real-life species, though of course that wouldn't always apply to fictional characters.
i suppose prey_outline could work, however, I would expect that it would confuse some users. Though, that is what the wiki is for anyway.
