sleeveless undershirt- doesn't really roll off the tongue, does it?
Bummer.
Yes, there is. There's a hurry, Xander. I'm dying...I may have as few as fifty years left.

[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 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.

Gives a whole new meaning to "cottonmouth".

So what are they called? Just curious.

Tank tops.

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?

They call it A-shirt. I call them tanks.

That's what I've always called them, regardless of color. I'm not sure if it's a military thing.
