“Wife Beater” Shirts Are Now Called “Wife Pleasers”
I don’t think many people would argue this was a great name to begin with, but how do you feel about this new “P.C. name”? Gen Z has decided that white tank tops for men should no longer be called “wife beaters” . . . because obviously that doesn’t play well in 2023. So the new term is . . . “WIFE PLEASER” (???) It’s already being used a lot on TikTok (There You Go), and the Urban Dictionary added it last year. An it’s not the first time someone’s tried to come up with a new name. Other suggestions that never got traction include “wife lover,” “wife blesser,” and “wife respecter” (???) I’m not really sure why they couldn’t just calling them “tank top” or “undershirt”?
