To refer casually to white men's briefs, is it Tidy Whities or Tightly Whities?
-
Tighty whities
Cause they are tight fitting and white.
And in some unfortunate cases, not tidy.

Has nothing to do with the race of their wearer. The underwear itself is white.
And nobody mentioned race but you...

OP writes «white men’s briefs» while it’s clearly about white men’s briefs

"White men's briefs." I assume there's a term for when meaning can be misconstrued for humorous reasons like this. I think you're responding to a joke.

Yellow fellows

Yeah, that word choice can unfortunately work perfectly in 2 ways. I meant white underwear in the briefs style

Itchy britchies

They sound the same, which way is it spelled?

Manties.

Manties, if you will
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.

And mine are never tidy
Get this dude a bidet

There are like a trillion ways to word this:
- white briefs for men
- briefs for men that are white
- white-colored men’s briefs

"white, men's briefs" would indeed work.

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

I actually read it that way and thought it was an odd choice to highlight that.
It didn't occur to me that that might not be what they meant until I read your comment.

Sometimes context gives it off, other times you can apply an cheap version off Occam’s razor and just consider that the race version would be absurd and it’s likely the colour of the brief’s

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!

The race specific version would be "uptighty honkies".
