    They sound the same, which way is it spelled?

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

    Has nothing to do with the race of their wearer. The underwear itself is white.

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

                    "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.

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

                            Damn, if only we had some sort of way to symbolize things like this. Maybe small characters we could add to sentences to, i dunno, indicate the way things are related. lol

                                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.

                                    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...
