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.
Early: So is it still her room when it's empty? Does the room, the thing, have purpose? Or do we -- what's the word? Simon: I really can't help you. Early: The plan is to take your sister. Get the reward, which is substantial. 'Imbue.' That's the word.

[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.

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

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.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
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.

So what are they called? Just curious.

Tank tops.
