The shirt in question is my preferred sleep-wear and I wish it had a better name. One time we had a sleep over and three of us gals were wearing them. A guy said, "when I die and go to heaven, all the women will wear those shirts."
Well, it's just good to know that when the chips are down and things look grim you'll feed off the girl who loves you to save your own ass!

Spike's Bitches 46: Don't I get a cookie?
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I guess I got a little defensive about this because I do occasionally use the term, and when I do use it, I usually mean it to be derogatory, and I don't feel particularly apologetic for that.

Never apologize for using the phrase in a derogatory fashion. I think we're just analyzing why that particular phrase and usage.

sleeveless undershirt- doesn't really roll off the tongue, does it?
Bummer.

Yeah, that's why I realized it wasn't really an attack on ME, and I didn't at all need to shut the hell up or go the hell away.

I think wife beaters are usually white. I like the black ones. Remember in the 80s we wore two in day glo colors? Were we calling those dago tees?

Heh. Some of my friends call it a "butch cami", but I think for most groups that wouldn't grok the same. And I think Hanes sells it as...shoot, it uses the letter A but all I can think of is A-line and that's a skirt, not a shirt!

Y-shirt? As opposed to T?

Too much lint to work well.
edit: I actually enjoy seeing a guy with good shoulders wearing one of these.

Gives a whole new meaning to "cottonmouth".
