I think that she had the same reaction I did. Meaning, of course, that I am woefully out of touch with **your** specific meaning of **wife beater**. I promise you, my mind said, I’ll kill this person if they go out looking for someone else’s husband, and **then** make sure they are an abusive spouse.

So…perhaps you could explain for me, the poor ignorant fool, exactly what you mean by **wife beater**?

Some people refer to those tank-style men’s undershirts as “wife-beaters”, in the sense that they’re what you normally see unemployed, alcoholic, abusive spouses wearing in TV, movies, etc.

Just for the record…having this information does not mean I condone its use. 🙂

Really a lot of money.

A cool car.

Big fat penis.

Gotta say those wife-beater T-shirts don’t do nuthin’ for me, though.

One outta three ain’t bad as long it’s the most important one and I know how to use it right, **Carina you naughty, naughty girl**?
