Last month, reports circulated that Kim Kardashian's next foray into business would be a line of lingerie and shapewear, and now TMZ has allegedly gotten their hands on the name of that lingerie line. Are you ready for this? It's a pun, so you should probably take a breath. Done? OK, here goes.

According to documents obtained by TMZ, Kim's filed a trademark for 'Kimono Intimates,' to put on products like bras, pasties, shapewear, leotards, and nightgowns. Actual kimonos were not included on TMZ's list, but you never know.

While 'Kimono' definitely seems like the kind of name that could cause some appropriation-related backlash, Twitter is also wondering if it's purely a coincidence that this news is coming right as Rihanna launches her own Savage x Fenty lingerie collection. Rihanna's line, which she's been promoting heavily on Instagram, drops May 11.

Kim has yet to confirm the name of her lingerie line (or really its existence), but you can bet when she does it'll involve a lot of semi-naked Instagrams. After all, you can't be fully naked when you're trying to sell clothing! Or maybe you can? I don't even know anymore.
