They sound the same, which way is it spelled?

Edit, it's the underwear that is white in this question.

Tighty whities

Cause they are tight fitting and white.

[-] IcedRaktajino@startrek.website 6 points 1 year ago

And in some unfortunate cases, not tidy.

A friend got pantsed back in middle school, revealing tighty whities and a brown stain. After that he was forever known as Skidmark Steve.

[-] Nastybutler@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Oof. That's unfortunate

[-] Whirlygirl9@kbin.melroy.org 11 points 1 year ago

Tighty whitey because they fit snuggly and they are overwhelmingly white in color...

[-] blarghly@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

*snugly. Snuggly is something different.

The only danger there is someone may misunderstand and think you have a manatee in your pants.

On second thought, that’s not a danger. It’s an opportunity for hilarity.

[-] blackbrook@mander.xyz 2 points 1 year ago

Is that manatee in your pants or are you REALLY happy to see me?

[-] njm1314@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

Hell son, they sure ain't tidy I'll tell you that.

[-] dangercake@feddit.uk 1 points 1 year ago

Not with that attitude they aren't

Huh. When I first got to Lemmy, I looked around for the no dumb questions community, look like it has grown a lot since then!

[-] Multiplexer@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 1 year ago

Hi diddly ho, my friendly Lemmy-writo!

This might also depend on how much you want to sound like Ned Flanders... So take your pick carefully!

Are briefs segregated by skin color where you live ? /s
