wifebeater 

a wifebeater is more of a lifestyle than a shirt per se. usually it is white and ribbed in texture. frowned upon by some, it expresses what the french call "savoir vivre". given the anthropological approach of the shirt, it doesn't really matter what shape the user is in, as long as he believes that by wearing a wifebeater, he expresses that everyone in this world should enjoy life without harming others while looking damn sexy.

He's been wearing a wifebeater since he's one year old. Therefore, I trust him.

Everybody was wearing a button-down shirt, but he was wearing a wifebeater. Hence, he knows how to party.

Wifebeater 

Actor Johnny Depp! He lost a libel lawsuit against "The Sun" in the UK so we can officially call him a "wifebeater"

High Court Justice Andrew Nicol ruled that allegations against Depp, made in April 2018 article, were “substantially true” so Depp is a wifebeater.

Text examples wifebeater directed at his ex wife (Amber Heard);
JD: "Let's burn Amber!!!"
PB:"I'm not sure we should burn Amber. She is delightful company and pleasing on the eye. We could of course do the English course of action and perform a drowning test. Thoughts? You have a swimming pool."
JD: "Let's drown her before we burn her!!! I will f*** her burnt corpse afterwards to make sure she is dead."
PB: "My thoughts entirely! Lets be CERTAIN before we pronounce her a witch."

JD: I, of course, pounded and displayed ugly colours to Amber on a recent journey. I am an insane person. And not so fair-headed after too much of the drink. Weed, pills, fine. Booze? My capacity is too large and won't stop. Ugly and sad. Oh, how I love it."

The wifebeater used the following phrases about his ex wife, "C*nt, "worthless hooker", "You Dont Exist", "I F*uking Hate you", "waste of a cum guzzler," "pointless dangling overused flappy fish market" , ect.
