wife beater

1. Men's close fitting, ribbed, sleeveless white cotton undershirt most commonly used before T-shirts came into vogue as undergarments. It is named wife beater after Marlon Brando's character, Stanley Kowalski, who wore one during much of the movie version of Tennessee Williams' "A Streetcar Named Desire." Stanley proved to be a sloppy, drunken, ill-tempered brute who beat his wife.
2. Slang name in Britain for a Belgian lager, Stella Artois, mostly because of the name, Stella, after Stella Kowalski, the victim of a beating from her husband, Stanley, in the aforementioned Tennessee Williams' play, "A Streetcar Named Desire," but also because of the high alcohol content which could possibly lead one to wife beating were he so pre-disposed.

"That fellow wearing the wife beater has knocked back 3 wife beaters in less than half an hour!"

Madden-bate

When you are forced to spend the night playing Madden by yourself, with just the voice of Gus Johnson to keep you comfort. Often this happens when your bro ditches you to go spend time with his girlfriend. It is normal to feel slightly ashamed once you complete a round of Madden-bating.

Zach: Hey man, let's go play some Madden.
Brendan: Nah dude, I gotta go buy some furniture with my girlfriend.
Zach: Oh, damn. Looks like I'm gonna have to go home and Madden-bate all night.
