A derogatory term for men’s briefs, used to mock the fact that tight briefs are tight around a man’s
butt, almost as though they are hugging his
butt. This is in contrast to more
popular types of men’s underwear, such as boxer briefs, which are tight around the legs rather than the butt, and regular boxer shorts, which are not tight at all and therefore do not hug any part of the body.
Person 1: He must’ve been so embarrassed that his
pants fell down and everyone saw his underwear.
Person 2: Yeah. Everyone was laughing really
hard at him, especially since he was wearing
butt huggers instead of boxers.
