This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

I’ve tried using “a-shirt” in the US for the reasons mentioned but it seems like no one knows what I mean until I say “wife beater.”

I experienced the reverse. Someone asked me "what's a singlet?", and I had no idea.

They really fell out of popularity here. I'm the only one of my peers I know who wears them at all. They definitely imply trashy with some crowds.
