To refer casually to white men's briefs, is it Tidy Whities or Tightly Whities?
-
And nobody mentioned race but you...
"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

OP writes «white men’s briefs» while it’s clearly about white men’s briefs
Yeah, that word choice can unfortunately work perfectly in 2 ways. I meant white underwear in the briefs style

Itchy britchies

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!

Has nothing to do with the race of their wearer. The underwear itself is white.
The race specific version would be "uptighty honkies".

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

*snugly. Snuggly is something different.

If it is tight, then you bought the wrong size.
