When you spot the most run downed car or truck (any other kind of
transportation out there) EVER and
you don't want to call it what it really is ( fugly, shit). Instead you take the easy route and say " Daymn you got's a
wife beater car right thurr".
The term is not offending anyone, it's just a way of saying that your car is beat up and crappy. But in a nicer way =D
Your friend pulls up in a crapola car and your like..
Pablo- " HOLY BEEJEEBUS MAN, you have a
wife beater car"
Henray-" PSSHT like your car is any better, I've seen those stains
in the back seat"
Pablo- " Oh yee your mom and I were ...
making cupcakes"
Henray-" ... truce"
