Talk:tighty whities
Usage[edit]
Should there be an indication that this term was originally (and is still quite often) used derisively? BlackAdvisor (talk) 20:59, 22 May 2017 (UTC)
Also, I'm pretty sure that the correct plural of a word that ends in -ey is -eys, not -ies. BlackAdvisor (talk) 21:37, 29 October 2017 (UTC)

Hyphen/Dash[edit]
I'm actually curious about this one. Would the proper spelling have a hyphen or not? BlackAdvisor (talk) 21:40, 29 October 2017 (UTC)
White vs nonwhite[edit]
This term got started referring to white briefs - it is first recorded uses are in the early 1990s, following the trend of many men and boys wearing white briefs throughout the 1980s into the ‘90s - but in recent years I’ve witnessed it used to refer to “jockey short” style briefs of color. Though the lesser used slang term tighties seems to have solved that problem...? BlackAdvisor (talk) 15:06, 28 December 2020 (UTC)
