Name this item of clothing

[Kirran]

I'll check.


Nope, I'm right!

You're North American, thereby invalidating any opinion you might have on the English language. I mean, yes more English-speakers are in North America than anywhere else. And yes, the world's prestige dialect is from the USA. But, I mean, well... Hmmm

 

[dust1n]

Yeah, that's a waistcoat to me.

Really?! Even when it's not part of a suit?

 

[Kirran]

Really?! Even when it's not part of a suit?

For real dawg.

 

[4consideration]

Well...?

Please help settle my war with @Kirran once and for all.

It's a tank top. It is not a wife beater.

This is a wife beater:

It is a ribbed, white tank top, designed as an under-shirt. It is not usually referred to as a "wife beater" when worn by someone like this.

It this case, it's a tank top.

 

[Saint Frankenstein]

Tank top.

 

[Smart_Guy]

A tank beater!

 

[dust1n]

For real dawg.

Well, we havn't asked who is wearing the clothing. That makes all the difference.

Wife beater:

Tank Top:

It's all about the presentation.

 

[Smart_Guy]

A wife top?

Nah, doesn't work.

 

[Laika]

Voted "Other" as I don't have a clue what a singlet is.

 

[Kirran]

Voted "Other" as I don't have a clue what a singlet is.

Damn jt RE.

 

[Laika]

Damn jt RE.

what is a singlet? seriously?

 

[Kirran]

Who cares, you should have supported me by voting vest. This will never be forgiven.

 

[Kirran]

I concede defeat, and submit gracefully to my exile to St. Helena. Touche, Treks.

 

[Treks]

WOOHOO!!!! *runs up and down the forum waving pompoms unabashedly*

I'd like to thank God, all the smart people who know what a singlet is, and Chesty Bonds.

God save the Queen! HUZZAH!!!

 

[Smart_Guy]

Huh? I see it's a draw!

 

[Jumi]

It's a draw between vest and singlet, but a-shirt has 15 votes!

 

[Treks]

Noooo!!! *clings to her victory even as it is taken off and thrown into the dirty laundry basket*

 

[Kirran]

A dashingly handsome return from defeat by Kirran!

 

[HonestJoe]

It's a vest and I will name it Alan.

 

[Kirran]

It's a vest and I will name it Alan.

You give it whatever name you want, you beautiful correct-speaking man.
