I have heard it called ho-plate which is the same thing.

I'm pretty sure some version of hooker or slut or tramp etc. has always been attributed to the extremely scanty "armor". Though I think it might more often be called such by women rather than men.

I admit I have cattily called toons that looked like they were dressed to be underwear models that when looking through transmog threads.
