How did the word bikini become a word?

In 1946, the United States performed nuclear tests on the Bikini Islands (specifically the island called Bikini Atoll.) A nuclear bomb was detonated and the effects of the fallout and radiation were measured. This was regarded by many as a sign that the world was about to end in nuclear war. The general feeling was that people ought to enjoy themselves in their final days and to stop being so uptight. A two-piece swimsuit was introduced in the spirit of these decadent days, and it was called the "bikini". So go show some skin... the end of the world might be closer than you think.


Which language is bikini from?

What did the US test in 1945 at Bikini Atoll in the Marshall Islands?

Nothing. The first postwar nuclear tests were the two Operation Crossroads shots in the summer of 1946 in the lagoon of Bikini Atoll. They were copies of the Fatman bomb dropped on Nagasaki and were done to test effects on Naval warships of weapons of known design and yield. The Navy was very skeptical of the ability of the new weapon to disable state of the art warships and the first bomb seemed to confirm their opinions (however this bomb was an airdrop and a mistake by the bombardier caused the bomb to significantly miss its AP) reducing the blast on the ships. But the second bomb was an underwater shot that threw ships up in the air, sunk several instantly, and so significantly contaminated many others that the Navy was unable to clean them enough to make it safe for sailors to man and operate them, so the Navy had to scuttle them. This resulted in the cancellation of the planned third bomb which was to have been an underwater shot in deep water outside the atoll. In 1962 a similar yield deep water shot was rescheduled in Operation Dominic in the Pacific southwest of San Diego.

What type of Islands are the Cook Islands?

There are many islands and most known as atolls ... I was on an atoll in the far north west of the cooks and the atoll had two main islands and about a dozen little that completed a kind of circular ring and inlets of water like channels but small for tidal flow going in and out of middle where is known as the lagoon. The lagoon I was in was about 2km from one point straight across to other end. So I gather alot of them are atolls.
