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.
