For example, with pictures of various trays/assortments to choose from:

===================== AI response ===================
I showed the above website to gemini and asked: "chinese hors 'd'oeuvres" "chinese hors 'd'oeuvres platter".?
https://gemini.google.com/share/962f20a0d0f6
Based on the context of this image and common Japanese usage, the interpretation leans heavily toward the latter: "an hors d'oeuvre platter" (or "assorted party platter").

Here is the breakdown of why the semantic weight has shifted from the content to the format.

1. The Loanword Shift
While the word comes from the French hors-d'œuvre (appetizer/starter), in the context of Japanese catering and takeout, オードブル (ōdoburu) has evolved to refer specifically to a large, shared platter of assorted foods.
...
In Japanese, if you say "I ordered an ōdoburu," the listener visualizes a large round or square tray filled with various bite-sized items, not necessarily just "appetizers" in the culinary sense.

デザートオードブル (Dessert Ōdoburu): This is the "smoking gun." Semantically, "Dessert Hors d'oeuvres" is an oxymoron if we strictly stick to the French meaning (starters). However, if ōdoburu means "assorted platter," it makes perfect sense: "An assorted platter of desserts."
  Comments:
Just google "クリスマスオードブル". This is quite obviously a "Christmas party platter", not "Christmas hors d'oeuvres". 

And this is kind of definitive(w/pic): "中華のミニオードブル". This is a mini platter, not miniature hors d'oeuvres
https://x.com/9FUaEQtTDm90247/status/2002297135677780375/photo/1
ミニオードブル	305


Adding from direct evidence.  Had a Christmas party, discussing with Japanese hosts what to buy from Costco to eat.  After various suggestions, one suggested we by an オードブル. Explained as a tray with various different foods you can choose from.

At the party, I showed pictures of オードブル (see image search) to various Japanese attendees, and asked if each item on the tray was an オードブル, or if the whole tray was an オードブル.  They reported "Probably the whole tray" is an オードブル.

I think you're unlikely to find a good explicit discussion of this online in English (I couldn't).  But the LLMs see it, and I think I've dug up enough support.

On the desert note, gemini observes that even "a platter of hors d'oeuvres" would not be correct as a gloss, as "dessert hors d'oeuvres" would be an oxymoron.  The meaning has generalized to "any platter of mixed foods you can snack on at a gathering/event". 

Sweets and deserts: スイーツオードブル and デザートオードブル don't have ngrams, but now have plenty of google matches/images.

1. Did Japanese ever naturally use テンション = mental strain?

Not really.

Unlike the physics sense, which had a stable technical niche, the psychological “strain” sense:

was imported conceptually from English

appeared sporadically in:

* translations
* academic or pseudo-academic prose
* non-native or heavily Westernized writing
* never fully entered everyday Japanese

never replaced 緊張, which already did the job perfectly

So there is no historical stage where:
テンション = 心理的緊張
was normal, idiomatic Japanese and then later disappeared.

Without that “normal → obsolete” lifecycle, archaic is the wrong diagnosis.

...
4. Better labels (lexicographically honest)

Depending on your tagging system, better options are:
[rare]
[non-idiomatic]
[translationese]
[foreign-influenced]
[academic / calque]

====
A 1990 reader would interpret テンションが高まる as “mental strain” only if:
The text is:
academic / clinical / translated
clearly influenced by English or German

The surrounding vocabulary strongly primes strain:
神経
緊迫
ストレス
心理的負荷

The author is not writing idiomatic Japanese, but mapping a foreign conceptual framework.

A native author writing naturally in 1990 would still choose:
緊張が高まる
精神的緊張が強まる
不安が増す
  Comments:
I just cannot find any evidence at all for the "mental strain" sense(I don't mean from LLMs, I mean from anywhere, and I have tried). 

[dated] suggests to me that at least some older Japanese people would understand [3] in context.  But I have been unable to find any such examples. [dated] also admits the possibility at テンションが上がる might be ambiguous in meaning in a 30 year old text.  That does not appear to be the case either.

chatgpt also disliked "anxiety" when I was doing the edit. This is a direct translation out of daijs: 精神的な緊張。また、不安。 Chatgpt thinks this is a very narrow, specific type of anxiety. But ultimately I couldn't confirm any nuance for [3] because there are no examples of [3] anywhere. This seems like one of those "direct translation from the dictionary" glosses that are notoriously imprecise.

LLM analysis is of course not definitive.  But unless anyone can find any evidence to the contrary (I could not), [rare] seems like better guidance to me.

  Comments:
If not [psych], then [rare] is surely accurate.

I tried the usual book searches, logical collocated keyword searches, etc. I begged my LLMs to find me a single example of [3], and they simply told me it's essentially never used with this meaning in modern Japanese.  Absent evidence to the contrary, [rare] seems safe and preferable.

I guess I only gave the nod to [psych] at all in deference to daijs. I'll be more careful about that.

...柔軟でリーズナブルな対応が可能です。 "we can respond flexibly without driving up costs".
https://midori-bunen.com/?page_id=41
標準的でリーズナブルな対策です This is a standard and affordable solution./“cost-effective solution”

https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/affordable
Able to be afforded; inexpensive or reasonably priced. 

reverso is not giving counts, so I expanded about 50 pages of results and counted:
https://context.reverso.net/translation/japanese-english/リーズナブル
reasonable 151
reasonably 66
reasonably priced 58
affordable 70
affordable prices 29
cheap 21
inexpensive 9

fair 7, almost all false-positives

https://hinative.com/questions/19857521
American people use reasonable for 1.having sound judgment and 2. not too expensive, but Japanese people cannot understand 1 meaning.
あなたの意見はリーズナブルだ ← Japanese people cannot understand.

Two posts complaining that リーズナブル shouldn't mean 安い.  Which indicates that it largely does:

Chatgpt translations of some collocations:
1. Applied directly to a "price" noun:
リーズナブルな価格 400870 — a reasonable price
リーズナブルな運賃 108677— a reasonable fare
リーズナブルな料金 106454 — a reasonable fee / reasonable rates
リーズナブルなプライス 11238— a reasonable price

2. Applied directly to a good or service:
リーズナブルなホテル 16609— a reasonably priced hotel
リーズナブルなお店 10495— a reasonably priced shop
リーズナブルな商品 10102— a reasonably priced product
リーズナブルな宿 7515 — a reasonably priced accommodation

False positives:
リーズナブルな男性	151
actual match:
リーズナブルな男性用カミソリ product
抗菌・防臭を施したリーズナブルな男性用白衣 product
...

リーズナブルな理由	206 False positives:
キャリートの料金がリーズナブルな理由 price
適正価格へのこだわり-天然素材なのにリーズナブルな理由  price
プロ講師でもリーズナブルな理由とは。 ... price
  Comments:
In 2018 [1] was simplified with the explanation "Usually refers to prices but doesn't have to."  Technically true, but...

リーズナブル is so strongly [1] that even collocations you might assume are [2] are actually still [1]. リーズナブルな対策 or リーズナブルな対応, for example, are often "Cost-effective measures", or "affordable service"(2 examples in refs). Even google translate will give "cost-effective" in some contexts.  Most people would not guess this. Breaking out [2] as [rare] gives some guidance.  

I showed the daijs definition (論理などが妥当なさま)[2] to one Japanese teacher and she was shocked to read it.  Another speaker remarked "probably Japanese people who know a lot of English might say this".  Not a sense commonly used in daily life.

[2] shows up in some articles fiscal policy(i.e. リーズナブルな水準 for the strength of the yen). Specialists throwing around English jargon. Still not that common.

"affordable" actually ties "reasonably priced" on reverso.  This matches the nuance reported to me. Wiktionary defines with 割安, "comparatively cheap", "economical" (i.e. affordable...).  Google translate alternates between "reasonably priced", "affordable", and a couple variations.

リーズナブル does not generally apply to people (NOT: "a reasonable man").

"fair" matches the English nuance, but not so much the Japanese one(安い).

I think I understand huixing's argument, that these two glossses are not accurate
accurate would be whatever the opposite of "to have the upper hand" is, i.e. that you are "down on points" so to speak,
that you look like you're losing, but _have not lost yet_ and can in fact regain the lead, to make an upset
(compare the situation to a race where you are 100m behind the lead runner)
I'd prefer something like "to be losing" or "to be on the verge of defeat" to these two if there are no better options around

  Comments:
Let's do that (moving "East Sea" to a separate トンヘ entry). とうかい can be a secondary reading.
We wouldn't typically have [poet] and [arch] on the same sense. I added [arch] in this case because the JEs and kokugos don't have this meaning. I wouldn't object to dropping [poet].

*Kojien: ⑤(Tonghae)朝鮮で、日本海の称。トンヘ。

*KOD追加語彙 for 東海:〔日本海に対する韓国の呼称〕 ⇒トンヘ.

トンヘ【東海】 外字(tonhe)
〔日本海に対する韓国の呼称〕 the East Sea.


*新語時事用語辞典 about トンヘ:

「朝鮮語における「東海」の読み方。主に、韓国が「日本海」に替わる呼称として主張している海域名のこと。
韓国は1990年代以降、「日本海」の呼び名を「東海」の呼称に訂正するようにと国際的なキャンペーンを行っている。それに起因する一連の問題は「日本海呼称問題」などと呼ばれている。
日本海は英語では「Sea of Japan」と表記される。東海は「East Sea」であるが、「East Sea(of Korea)」と暗に韓国の国名を含んだ呼び名である。なお、日本語の「東海」に日本そのものを指す意味もある。」 

ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー

Most kokugos have the first sense "❶東の方にある海。"
Compare Meikyo:
❶東の方にある海。
❷本州中央部のうち、太平洋側の地方。ふつう静岡・愛知・三重の三県と岐阜県の南部をいう。東海地方。
❸「東海道」の略。⇒東海道

And the references that also have the [poet] sense have both.

ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー
東海道 sense is in Meikyo, Sankoku, Oukoku, etc.

ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー
Chuujiten also has this:
とうかい1【東海】
	【地名】 Donghai (トンハイ) 《中国江蘇省北部の県》

.
  Comments:
I suggest the "East Sea" sense be split out with トンヘ as the primary reading with a [lsrc] tag.
(Would it then still possible to have とうかい as a secondary reading?)

Adding two more senses from GG5 and the smaller kokugos.

Not sure if we should have [poet,arch], they are largely similar. Though I guess just dropping one of them is kind of arbitrary too.
Compare Stephen's comment in 1877000:

"There's a significant overlap between poetic and archaic words. 
To make matters more confusing, the [arch] tag in JMdict is used both on archaic words that are still used in modern Japanese and archaic words that are obsolete. "

is the "(Korean) East Sea" sense really appropriate?
none of the refs have it and the articles i'm seeing really only have it in the context of how 東海 (pronounced donghae) is used in south korea
i'm also seeing an additional "[abbr] 東海道" sense in some kokugos
there's also "JR東海" (not in refs)

https://context.reverso.net/translation/japanese-english/半面


Since it kind of got overshadowed before, I'm gonna put the BCCWJ data here once more:

"(4)BCCWJ (Counts in brackets are for 反面):
半面 has 250 counts in total (1069)

Sense one:
{〘活用形=連体形〙}{半面}= 58 (456)
{〘活用形=連体形〙}{半面}{、}= 45 (314)

Sense two:
{、}{半面}= 21 (117)
{、}{半面}{、}= 7 (68)
{。}{半面}=  72 (100)
{。}{半面}{、}= 63 (62)
{〘品詞=連体詞〙}{半面}= 42 (212)
Note that there may be a few missing for the counts with commas, as some of the sentences used , instead of 、.

That's 157 (45 + 7 + 63 + 42) out of 250 hits for conjunctive usage (I didn't use the counts for{。}{半面}and{、}{半面}on purpose, as they could technically include false hits for noun usage). That makes 62.8% of total usage.
Based on that I put the conjunctive senses first, as in the 反面 entry."

.
  Comments:
Both massif and reverso examples show that the conjunctive usage makes up the largest part of total usage.
In case it hasn't been noted yet, the BCCWJ data also supports this.


I get that it's currently only sankoku explicitly marking these senses, but I believe they're on the right track here.
Them also being treated as basically the same grammatical constructs in Brian's Waseda grammar textbook could technically serve as another reference here too.


I think if these two senses were to not lead, we also couldn't reasonably have these [rare] tags on the other senses. Since it's really a comparative rarity and not an absolute one.
And less stark than with 反面 at that.

I've been concerned about those proposed first two senses. After all, they're not in most references. I've come round to accepting them, although I'd be more comfortable if they didn't lead. I'll approve and leave open for a while.

  Comments:
No worries, I figured that something along those lines had happened.

>So my [2] was the previous [2].  I only meant to say that the grammatical usage was far more common than all of these [rare] noun senses, and this term is not itself [rare]. Right now it looks like it is.

Thanks

>So, yes, to be clear, my belief is that the grammatical senses of 反面 should be all be copy/pasted straight into this entry with xrefs (maybe just one way, from here to there).  They should probably be the leading senses.  

Good, that's what I had proposed as well. I didn't think the usage of conjunctive 半面 vs 反面 was marginal enough to be reduced to a hidden form and a note in 反面. I've put the two senses from my edit back and left Jims additions from the previous edit in place.

>And who knows, we might even decide there is a subtle nuance meriting slight deviation in the glosses.  If not today, maybe tomorrow.

I actually had something like this in mind when I put "(but) at the same time" first in sense two. It's quite the minor change, but why not.


If this is approved, the incoming xref from 半顔 will need to be aligned.
And 半面 + the note would need to be removed from 反面.

サンタナ・ブラザーズ名義のアルバムを発表。

I'd recommend something like "name one is using" or "public name" or "published name"

* Consice Oxford Dictionary of linguistics:

Inflection: 
"Any form or change of form which distinguishes different
grammatical forms of the same lexical unit. E.g. plural books is
distinguished from singular book by the inflection -s, which is by that
token a plural inflection."

Conjugation:
"The inflection of verbs; also a class of verbs which share a
pattern of inflection"

⇒ i.e. subsumed under "inflection"


Declension:
"The inflection of nouns and other words whose categories
are similar. Also of a class of nouns etc. which share a characteristic
formal pattern of inflection. E.g. a ‘third declension’ noun in Latin is one
of a class whose genitive singular is in -is, dative and ablative plural in -
ibus, and so on."


Because oxford's definition of "declension" is a bit unspecific I have also consulted Webster's third international dictionary:

Declension: "noun, adjective or pronoun inflection"

⇒ i.e. also subsumed under "inflection"

.
  Comments:
"declinable word" is not a good gloss given the kokugo descriptions and the meaning in English as outlined above. 
To my knowledge "declension" is specifically used for case related changes of nouns, pronouns (and adjectives).
Thus Japanese doesn't even have "declension" in that sense.
Furthermore, "inflectable word" by itself is not sufficient because it also includes 助動詞, which 用言 does not.

As "inflection" is the most neutral and broad term at hand I suggest we use generally use it.

Not sure where the current definition came from, I don't think it works here. I think this is probably better. Maybe "pyrotechnic device" or "pyrotechnic material" is better?

My point and proposal wasn't about your note in particular. Though I appreciate someone finally nudging it, as I'd somewhat forgotten about it myself.

>"I thought that the usage of だから at the beginning of a sentence would be obvious, but I can see how there could be confusion, since なので is almost never used in that position."
What exactly are you referring to here? I don't quite understand.
The point is that for both だから and なので, but especially the latter, there are two "separate" use cases to look at (for だから there's also the third).
For なので compare *1 and *2. I won't regurgitate everything here, since the same gist can be taken from what's already been posted below.



Just to make it clear, I am proposing a 4 entry alignment of the なので・ので and だから・から pairs. 
They are all inconsistent right now, both with each other and with the kokugos (on top of the fact that the single sense in this current entry should have [exp,conj]). 
And a not insignificant amount of references take this approach.
Drafts of all four entries are in the pastebin below.


I totally understand why this proposal has been sitting here for this long. After all it spans four separate entries.
Another factor is the, in all likelihood, massive amount of sentences that would need to be indexed and reindexed following this string of edits.
I just want to note that if there is a way in which I could help working on these sentences, I'd gladly do so.


As stated below, the reason I put this forward only in form of a pastebin at first, was to not make it unnecessarily messy right off the bat.
However, as enough time has passed now in my eyes, I'm going to wait a bit after this reply to see if there are any new responses.
And if nothing new comes in, I'll (re)draft and submit my proposed edits and see how it goes. 
I would begin with only two edits, the なので and ので pair, to set things in motion.

I've only just seen this, and I apologize for not responding sooner.

I thought that the usage of だから at the beginning of a sentence would be obvious, but I can see how there could be confusion, since なので is almost never used in that position.

I'm just not sure how to explain that simply in a note. Maybe the entry for だから is already enough, since it clearly has a different meaning than なので? Maybe we could move up "that's why", "for that reason" on that entry?

First of all, なので isn't a parallel to から, but to だから. The only difference being that ので takes the 連体形 and から the 終止形, hence it not being だので.
There are really two cases to distinguish here.

1. なので as an conjunctive expression arising from the 連体形 of copula だ after nouns and な adjectives and the 連体形 bound conjunctive particle ので. This is only in references because it's not as obvious.
2. なので as a single conjunction used *at sentence beginning* like だから, which is a rather new usage as indicated by multiple references.


The corpus data further substantiates what the references have already established:
- なので as a 接続詞, i.e. at sentence beginning, is far less common than だから in the same position. In total counts and especially in relation to non-sentence initial usage
  - this also indicates more recent development for that sense in なので as it is not yet well represented in the existing corpi
- だから is more common than なので in spoken language
  - the sentence initial usage being higher than the non-sentence initial usage, in CEJC, is a good indicator for だから sense 3 in the pastebin, as such connotations are far easier supplied using tone
  - this potentially also speaks for the difference in objectivity, and subsequently formality, outlined in references
- non-sentence initial なので is less frequently used in daily conversation than だから

Though technically not necessary, multiple references have an entry for なので in non-sentence intial position, i.e. case one of the above. I believe it's probably worthwhile to have in a dictionary mainly catering towards foreigners learning the language, so as to not lead to ungrammaticalities.


I think the two respective pairs and all four entries, から・だから and ので・なので, can be improved and aligned for consistency. In the pastebin below I have a proposal with references for each of the four. I thought it'd be way less messy than starting four separate edits at the same time.

Perhaps not. But it does add value by providing important grammatical context, particularly for beginners, since this is a な + の construction that applies specifically after nouns and na-adjectives.

I apologize, I must have misread parts of your proposal, because I didn't even notice the pastebin at first.

I don't have any real issue with splitting out separate senses for sentence-initial usage.

The only thing I'd note is that the sentence-initial senses should probably come second, not first.

For the だから entry in particular, I'd also avoid repeating "so" and "therefore," and I'm not entirely convinced by some of the more adverbial-sounding glosses. "That's why" and "for that reason" feel like a better tonal match though.

After taking another look at the corpus counts I provided back then, this seems reasonable.

I'll now submit my proposed changes to なので and ので as edits so it's easier for everyone to supplement or amend them.

The point is that for both だから and なので, but especially the latter, there are two "separate" use cases to look at (for だから there's also the third).
For なので compare *1 and *2. I won't regurgitate everything here, since the same gist can be taken from what's already been posted below.



Just to make it clear, I am proposing a 4 entry alignment of the なので・ので and だから・から pairs. 
They are all inconsistent right now, both with each other and with the kokugos (on top of the fact that the single sense in this current entry should have [exp,conj]). 
And a not insignificant amount of references take this approach.
Drafts of all four entries are in the pastebin below.


I totally understand why this proposal has been sitting here for this long. After all it spans four separate entries.
Another factor is the, in all likelihood, massive amount of sentences that would need to be indexed and reindexed following this string of edits.
I just want to note that if there is a way in which I could help working on these sentences, I'd gladly do so.


As stated below, the reason I put this forward only in form of a pastebin at first, was to not make it unnecessarily messy right off the bat.
However, as enough time has passed now in my eyes, I'm going to wait a bit after this reply to see if there are any new responses.
And if nothing new comes in, I'll (re)draft and submit my proposed edits and see how it goes. 
I would begin with only two edits, the なので and ので pair, to set things in motion.

I've only just seen this, and I apologize for not responding sooner.

I thought that the usage of だから at the beginning of a sentence would be obvious, but I can see how there could be confusion, since なので is almost never used in that position.

I'm just not sure how to explain that simply in a note. Maybe the entry for だから is already enough, since it clearly has a different meaning than なので? Maybe we could move up "that's why", "for that reason" on that entry?

  Comments:
First of all, なので isn't a parallel to から, but to だから. The only difference being that ので takes the 連体形 and から the 終止形, hence it not being だので.
There are really two cases to distinguish here.

1. なので as an conjunctive expression arising from the 連体形 of copula だ after nouns and な adjectives and the 連体形 bound conjunctive particle ので. This is only in references because it's not as obvious.
2. なので as a single conjunction used *at sentence beginning* like だから, which is a rather new usage as indicated by multiple references.


The corpus data further substantiates what the references have already established:
- なので as a 接続詞, i.e. at sentence beginning, is far less common than だから in the same position. In total counts and especially in relation to non-sentence initial usage
  - this also indicates more recent development for that sense in なので as it is not yet well represented in the existing corpi
- だから is more common than なので in spoken language
  - the sentence initial usage being higher than the non-sentence initial usage, in CEJC, is a good indicator for だから sense 3 in the pastebin, as such connotations are far easier supplied using tone
  - this potentially also speaks for the difference in objectivity, and subsequently formality, outlined in references
- non-sentence initial なので is less frequently used in daily conversation than だから

Though technically not necessary, multiple references have an entry for なので in non-sentence intial position, i.e. case one of the above. I believe it's probably worthwhile to have in a dictionary mainly catering towards foreigners learning the language, so as to not lead to ungrammaticalities.


I think the two respective pairs and all four entries, から・だから and ので・なので, can be improved and aligned for consistency. In the pastebin below I have a proposal with references for each of the four. I thought it'd be way less messy than starting four separate edits at the same time.

https://pastebin.com/hesz2mKY

I don't know if there's a way to enable others to participate in editing a paste there, probably not. But comments can be posted.

Sorry for the messy references, but in my opinion, the definitions offered in dictionary sources don't at all reflect how this word is actually used by commentators and players; that is, usu. as ○○の場況が良い, 悪い, 絶好, etc. for "[a tile looks] likely/not very likely/extremely likely to be drawn from the wall". At least in this sense, it is certainly considered somewhat high-level/obtuse 麻雀用語

https://ameblo.jp/hair-studio-guys/entry-12897641365.html
今回のスタイルは、いわゆるヤンキーらしい髪型ではありますが、モデルさんの持つ優しい顔立ちと重なると、どこかちぐはぐな、でも不思議と惹かれるような印象になります。
This style is a typical Yankee hairstyle, but when combined with the model's gentle features, it creates a somewhat mismatched, yet strangely appealing, impression.

The eye perm technique emphasizes the shine and smoothness of the surface, so it can be difficult to fully bring out the charm of curly hair.
However, as you can see from the image, a beautiful, smooth surface has been created.
The result is so smooth that you wouldn't guess it was curly at first glance.

See our entry パンチパーマ:
"curly men's hairstyle, usu. associated with yakuza or delinquents"

Saw as an option at a local barber(refs). LLMs indicate this is アイパー gives of a "classic barbershop" vibe.. Derived from アイロンパーマ, no doubt, but now apparently its own hair style. Not cleanly [abbr].  This is effectively a *type* of アイロンパーマ, and if you see アイロンパーマ alone, it often indicates a curly men's hairstyle, not straight.

Proof right here; This site has 3 different, distinct options:
https://riyou.jp/shop/52439/
アイロン
アイパー   6,800円~
パンチパーマ   6,800円~
アイロンパーマ   6,800円~ <--- distinct

While it may have been associated with "delinquents" historically, as a modern hairstyle that gloss would be problematic. Seems like it may be a functional choice today.  I downgraded "oft. associated" to "sometimes associated".  Still a useful note for literature/media.

アイロンパーマとは
If you're a fan of 80s styles, you might be more familiar with the term "eye perm." Eye perms and punch perms are hairstyles often seen in Showa-era gangster films... The official name for both is "iron perm." Hair styling tools include "curling irons" and "straightening irons," which apply high heat to hair to forcibly set it in place. An iron perm is a perm method that applies high heat of about 200 degrees to hair that has been soaked in perm solution, causing it to memorize its shape.

Iron perm styles were popular a while back (around the 1980s) along with the equally famous punch perm . At the time, they were used by people with slicked-back hair. Iron perms, which have been updated to modern styles , are designed to address the concerns and ideals of a wider range of people .
  Comments:
For "usu. men's": image search (100% men)

I don't object to this being 1 sense using some kind of "(esp. ...)"  note. 

However, as far as I can see, this word exists in two senses: 1. the concept of a men's hot-iron perm. 2. in contrast to two cleanly-defined hairstyles: the punch perm, and the アイパー (not an abbreviation).  So this is "everything else", which is basically "curly/wavy perm". 

See this barbershop sign/menu for the side-by-side contrast:
