Loosely translates into "absolute territory". "Zettai ryouiki" is the area of bare skin seen between a skirt and thighhighs. Some have suggested that the ideal ratio is 4:1:2.5 (length of mini-skirt : absolute territory : length of overknee socks above the knee). To qualify for the tag, the skirt should fall naturally down the leg, if the skirt is pulled up or otherwise out of place, the image probably doesn't qualify for the tag.
The term itself originates from Neon Genesis Evangelion, although it had none of the current connotations in the anime. The modern usage of zettai ryouiki originates from the creator of a desktop mascot application when he used the term on his blog in reference to Mayura.
Notable characters wit this traits include Tohsaka Rin from Fate/Stay Night, Hatsune Miku, and Houjuu Nue from Touhou Project.
