In a related note, anyone got a good term for "wifebeater" that isn't "ribbed tank top?"

I believe the proper name is "A shirt", at least that is what we call them in the costume shop. Of course, I grew up calling them "guinea t's", so what do I know!

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

I am not removing "gypped" from my vocabulary anytime soon, either, despite its cultural baggage.

Well now, "niggardly" doesn't come from any racially charged word or concept. "Gypped," however, does. "Gypped" is no better than "Jew him down." I mean, god DAMN.

t edit Okay, we had a fire alarm scare here, so I paused before finishing my post, and everyone else got there before I did. Well done.

I just call them "tank tops."

Why "A shirt"?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Why "A shirt"?

I think it's the basic shape of them, to distinguish from a "T shirt."

Why "A shirt"?

I think either short of "Athletic Shirt" or because it is shaped sort of like an "A". I actually used to call them singlets, which I think might also be right, but no one knew what I was talking about and thought I meant wrestling garb.

Also, I never really understood wearing an A-shirt as underwear. It seems to me that the undershirt's job is to protect your outer shirt from your armpits, and the A-shirt does not do that!

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Fuck the persimmons!

Did anyone else go to an American Pie place? Just me?

I *did* say "not literally" to forestall you pervy people! I see it cannot be forestalled. It is a force unto itself, like El Nino.

You said it in the next line, though. By the time my eye moved to the next line, it was way too late.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Do you jew people down in negotiation too?

No, but I never used the word "jew" in that way.
