phrases - Word or words to describe type of garments relating to football strips?


I am looking for a word or phrase for use in filtering football strips in an on-line store that describe both of the following.



  1. A word or couple of words to distinguish between home/away/third products

  2. A word or couple of words to distinguish between shirts/shorts/socks


If you imagine each of those is a item in a filter, what could the name of the filter be?


The only phrases that we have been able to come up with is "Kit Type" or "Product Type" -- "Kit Type" is acceptable but ideally we'd like to avoid "Product Type".


e.g.



Kit Type
[x] Home
[ ] Away
[ ] Third


Product Type
[ ] Shirt
[x] Shorts
[ ] Socks




Answer



I would avoid the word "type" because it's completely generic and doesn't give any information about the classification being used (the same would be true of "category").


If your aim is that the title of the input gives the user some clue as to what the options might be within that input, then I would go with these options:


Home/Away
[x] Home
[ ] Away
[ ] Third

Garment
[ ] Shirt
[x] Shorts
[ ] Socks

"Garment" is the best word I can think of for "Category of clothing, based on which part of the body you wear it on", which is what the second option represents.

Is there a word/phrase for "unperformant"?

As a software engineer, I need to sometimes describe a piece of code as something that lacks performance or was not written with performance in mind. Example: This kind of coding style leads to unmaintainable and unperformant code. Based on my Google searches, this isn't a real word. What is the correct way to describe this? EDIT My usage of "performance" here is in regard to speed and efficiency. For example, the better the performance of code the faster the application runs. My question and example target the negative definition, which is in reference to preventing inefficient coding practices. Answer This kind of coding style leads to unmaintainable and unperformant code. In my opinion, reads more easily as: This coding style leads to unmaintainable and poorly performing code. The key to well-written documentation and reports lies in ease of understanding. Adding poorly understood words such as performant decreases that ease. In addressing the use of such a poorly ...

Is 'efficate' a word in English?

I routinely hear the word "efficate" being used. For example, "The most powerful way to efficate a change in the system is to participate." I do not find entries for this word in common English dictionaries, but I do not have an unabridged dictionary. I have checked the OED (I'm not sure if it is considered unabridged), and it has no entry for "efficate". It does have an entry for "efficiate", which is used in the same way. Wordnik has an entry for "efficate" with over 1800 hits, thus providing some evidence for the frequency of use. I personally like the word and find the meaning very clear and obvious when others use it. If it's not currently an "officially documented" word, perhaps its continued use will result in it being better documented.
