This may come as a surprise to all of the viewers of this blog, but here in England we have never heard of the term "WIFEBEATERS". Would somebody kindly explain what the word refers to. Many thnaks VINNIE
The slang term "wife beater" originates from the popularity of the shirt among post-war working class men, who are stereotypically imagined as violent or abusive.
