[HPFGU-OTChatter] wifebeaters Re: Closets and Wardrobes

| I think that this is probably a generational thing.  I'm 43, and

| your age.  Funny how the name stuck, though!

[Lee]:
Well, I'm 47 and never heard that term before now.  Honestly, I would feel
most uncomfortable walking into a shop and asking for a "Wifebeater"; it
would distress me no end!

It sort of amazes me that in this day and age of political correctness such
a nomer would be allowed to stand unchallenged.

Cheers,
