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

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

              They fit relatively tightly compared to boxers, even when the right size.

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

                              I've always known these as the tighty whities.

                                  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.

                                  Technically that is what they wrote since they forgot the comma. "white, men's briefs" is a list of adjectives describing briefs, the noun. "White men's briefs" makes "white" the adjective describing the men who own the briefs

                                  Men's vs. mens was also an issue that added ambiguity
