    I still remember the time my current partner's mom saw me wearing a Tankie and immediately started accusing me of perpetuating Italian-American crimes against her daughter

      "wife beater" is the word used frequently to refer to white a-frame tank tops (tankies) where I'm from. I do not appreciate that name, but I love the idea of using that word until a lib or conservative will try to explain what a 'tankie' is to me.
