I'll be going elsewhere for news, given your response. Totally fine to not realize that a term is really ugly, but doubling down on it when someone points it out is not the way to go. Consider why it's so important to you that you'd rather lose a reader than change the term you use to refer to clothing? -

Jay deleted this nonsense for a reason. If you don't like his terminology you can go elsewhere for your news. He was pretty clear on that. I don't hold any hatred against anyone here for using offensive or non offensive language. I always try to be respectful when replying to others, but i will speak my mind. And with domestic abuse in my background, the term wife beater/ child beater doesn't offend me. If you feel the need to discuss this any further you can send an inbox to Jay. I'm also Italian, Dago tee never offended me either. -

Sorry, but i think he's right, and while its not the biggest deal in the world, i don't think its trolling to call out Jay for purposely using incendiary language by calling it a wife beater shirt rather than than a tank top or a muscle shirt? The term comes from a 1947 incident in which a guy beat his wife to death and was wearing a dirty tank top in the photo published in newspapers . Personally i first heard the term used by high school students i was teaching 20 years ago, as the "senior" boys oh-so-maturely decided to have a "wear a wife beater to school" day (as you might imagine this did not go over well with administration) Now i'm curious to know if the cowboy logan figure also got described as wearing a wife-beater on this site. I mean, i suppose we could also refer to this type of shirt as a guinea tee or a dago tee, after all those were also terms used historically for tanks tops and we have thick skins around here, don't we? btw for those curious the tank top name comes from one-piece sleeveless bathing suits of the 1920s that were known as tank suits (tank being another term for pool) -
I was hoping we’d find out more last week... I am very curious to see who’s going to be in the next retro wave! I’m hoping for either a sandman or rhino BAF re-release. I also hope that the storm/thunderbird 2 pack will make its way here to Canada. That’s the set I’m looking forward to most!
