Re: Settle a Debate.

wife beater, something else that I wouldn't want to offend anyone.
It's technically an athletic tank top meant to be worn as an undershirt.

Re: Settle a Debate.

I call them A-shirts or A-tanks when talking to my boys.

I call them wife beaters when talking colloquially.

Honestly, I don't find myself reffering to them often in my life. Chat Icon

I mostly her them called wife beaters, but I probably wouldn't say that & would call it a sleeveless undershirt.
