Tighty Whities

A mocking term for men’s white briefs, used because men’s briefs fit tightly around the crotch and are often white in color. The term first gained popularity among adolescent males in the 1990s, when boxer shorts began to usurp briefs as the most popular style of underwear among young men. In the years since, as white briefs have become less and less stylish due to the rise in popularity of hybrid styles such as boxer briefs and trunks, the derogatory term has become a generally accepted one to describe men’s white briefs.

I can’t believe I forgot to do my laundry last night. Now, I’m out of clean boxers and I have no choice but to wear an old pair of tighty whities that I haven’t worn in years. I sure hope that my pants don’t fall down today, since I know that my friends will make fun of me if they find out what kind of underwear I’m wearing.

Tighty-whities 

Super soft and comfortable white briefs commonly worn by boys and men if they love them so much.

If you’re going to high school, don’t wear them and if you do, don’t get caught wearing them. You can and will get more than you bargained for. If you get caught wearing them, the following can happen:
-Wedgies (regular, extremely painful massive, hanging and atomic)
-Swirlies
-Being pantsed (sometimes in front of your crush and her friends)
-Having your clothes taken and being forced to run around the school in your tighty whities while everyone records you on their phones so they can put it on their Snapchat story.

So wear boxers while going to high school or wear tighty whities if you’re okay with that the following list^^^

Tighty-whities are very soft and comfortable white briefs I used to enjoy wearing.

I wore tighty whities every day until I was in high school. While changing in gym, the cool boxer wearing guys saw my tighty whities and immediately ran over to me and gave me the worst Wedgie imaginable followed by a swirly.

Later on while going to tell my crush who was out of my league how I feel, the same guys pull down my pants, revealing my tighty whities and she was staring at my tighty whities while I was also having a boner.

After that, my shirt was removed and taken along with my pants and the guys forced me to run around the entire school in my tighty whities while everyone laughed as they watched and filmed me on their phones. I looked on Snapchat later and saw many put it on their story.

I wear tighty-whities everyday, and I like them, but everyone at school gives me wedgies. I recently received a flagpole wedgie by my "friends"

Tighty-whities 

Alternate name for "alt-right". Originally referred to uncomfortable bright white underwear for small kids but now refers metaphorically to racist caucasians. From the fact that the whiteness covers up assholes and immaturity, absorbs piss, and makes everyone uncomfortable and isn't something you should wear in public.

The whole Trump administration is a bunch of nutty tighty-whities.

Breitbart is just the usual tight-whitey bullshit news.
