<br>
<br> My niece, who is a student at Trinity Univ. in Texas, told me last night
<br> that white, sleeveless undershirts are known there as "wife beaters." Can
<br> anyone confirm this usage elsewhere?
<br>
<br>I first heard it late last year from our 22-year-old receptionist in
<br>Austin, TX, and have since heard it from other young-ish people here.
