    They sound the same, which way is it spelled?

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

        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!

                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
