Slang for a tight men’s swimsuit that proudly displays a man’s genitalia without modesty. Such skimpy suits are often worn by competitive swimmers, gay men, professional body builders and European men. The name, knuckle hugger, comes from the form fitting design of the garment which “hugs” the knuckle and leaves very little to the imagination of onlookers. The connotation of the term emphasizes the brazen immodesty or humor associated with wearing a skin tight bathing suit in public.
