Wife-beater
Posted by sorehand on December 31, 2002 Do people from the UK use the word "singlet" when refering to
the tank top style men's undershirt? Or is that too archaic?
My Japanese girlfriend throws all these ancient english words at
me. I didn't know what she was talking about. Singlet? I looked
it up on the internet. Oh...a "wife-beater"? Wakarimashita.
My question is, how long has the slang word for a men's undershirt
"wife-beater" been around? I'm guessing it's definitely a "post-modern"
thing, whatever that means.
