Do you consider this freedom of speech?

What about "colored?"

I thought that went out in the 60s?

I heard it used so often, it's hard to get offended. My mom calls them jersey shirts and hates them.

Kids have been calling these wife-beaters for years and years. Here we go again.

I used to hear them as "spaghetti shirts". I guess that's offensive now, too.

Everybody calls them wife beaters. So what?

They're not like a 'magical Dungeons & Dragons garment' that forces you to beat your wife when you put one on....

They have been called wife beaters for years because the typical Hollywood wife beater has the tank top undershirt with the stain and the big gut. I call them that and so does everyone I know and we're all in our thirties.

I generally just call them beaters because its just short for wife beaters. Heck my wife and her friends call them wife beaters too, college educated thirty-something professional women.

That's what they're called, aren't they?

If they don't like that, they're really not going to like some of the other names...

I prefer to call them Guinea Tees.

This is revealing of the Massachusetts LibIdiot mentality.

People of the Left don't just hate President Bush, and sit around smiling all day. Can you imagine the type of family life they have?

Be afraid, be very afraid.

They would have been better off advertising them as 'Dago Tees' which is what we called them when I was a kid.

I've always wondered if them shirts come with the tomato sauce stains? (I apologize for that!)

Why do they have to be white wife beaters?

Why it's got to be like that? /ebonics

You really have to be out of the loop to not know that this is what this type of T-shirt has been called since forever.

Ugh...

In Alabama, we called them "pea-shelling t-shirts", the shirts men would wear on the front porch when their wives made them shell peas. I don't like the term "wife-beater", but I believe they have the right to call them that.

We call them wife beaters here. Always have. People get their panties in a twist over everything now days.

I used to wear those all the time back when I was a roofer. They were tight fitting and more comfortable than anything else in the heat.

Of course, that was over 20 years ago when I was 6'1" and 175 pounds of lithe, sinewy, lean muscle.
