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?
Zoe: What's that, sir? Mal: Freedom, is what. Zoe: No, I meant what's that? Mal: Oh. Yeah. Just step around it. I think something must've been living in here.

[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.

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!

sleeveless undershirt- doesn't really roll off the tongue, does it?
Too much lint to work well.

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.

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

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Tank tops were worn in swimming tanks, irrc, not driving around and shooting tanks. A Shirts meant "athletic".
This is all somewhere on Wikipedia.
