(Noun) A pair of men'
s underwear with specific attributes giving the wearer a feeling of confidence and business savvy. Traditionally, power
briefs have exclusively been in 'boxer
short' form. However, in recent years, the growing acceptance of homosexuality and "metrosexualism" has led them to take on other forms. Power
briefs can generally be recognized by having gold, embroidered threads. Some of the most sought after pairs are signed by notable CEOs such as Steve Jobs or
Larry Ellison. Originally, these signed power briefs were actually worn by the
CEO and then signed, then embroidered. And the effects were supposed to have been ruined if they were ever washed. Due to the pervasity of
fake power briefs (generally found on Ebay). The signed pairs have fallen out of favor. Usually these briefs will be worn only for important events - first dates, interviews, presentations, or major tests.
I was
really sweating this presentation to the executive director and his staff, but when I eased in to my
power briefs this morning, I knew I was ready to take the lead.
