I was around gals who used the phrase frequently to reference these
tank tops/undershirts that I picked up the term.  If you simply said
'tank top', we didn't automatically visualize what Moonmyyst
described.

Then again, I also say 'rule of thumb' too and that may offend some as
well since its basis is the maximum width of a stick used to beat a
person.
