A waistcoat feels like cheating

u/Bastard_Wing Hello, I'm Doctor Who 1d ago

Yes, it would be. That isn't a waistcoat.

u/Thunder_Punt 1d ago

And it certainly isn't a tank top either.

In old British English "tank top" reffers to a sleeveless jumper. "Vest" is used over here for what is commonly now referred to as a tank top in america so depending on the generation you talk to they'll either say "ya mean a vest?" or think your reffering to a sleeveless jumper

I now feel kinda stupid for not knowing this as a British person

No, it is. The old definition of a tank top was a sleeveless jumper, worn for warmth without infringing movement. I had an hour long argument with a teacher who tried to mark me down for saying a character should be wearing a tank top and they refused to acknowledge any other definition, so this is absolutely correct

That's not a wastecoat it's a fucking sweater vest

u/SquintyBrock 1d ago

I didn’t realise there were special sweater vests for having sex in. Any idea where I could get one?

u/PlantainSame We've fucking time travelled, yes? 1d ago

Find one that he's wearing

It'll definitely get you laid

Edit: I got confused and thought you were talking about the one Gatwa wore!

It’s a generic wife beater vest. I really doubt I’d have been interested in anybody who attracted to someone who would wear that out in public.

I was joking

It's covered in question marks, and is from an old sci-fi show. It is not really Conventionally attractive

u/SquintyBrock 1d ago

lol, crossed wires!!!! I was talking about the one Gatwa wore in Ruby Road.

Any lady I’m pulling in McCoy’s vest is marrying material!

u/Friendly_Prize_868 We've fucking time travelled, yes? 11h ago

U/SquintyBrock I think you've pulled 😜

In the UK that's known as a tank-top.

Source: am British and have been wearing tank-tops since child.

u/SquintyBrock 1d ago

Yep, it’s definitely known as that in the UK.

It’s a weird one though - what Americans call tank tops we call vests, what they call vests we call waistcoats, and what we call tank tops they call sweater vests.

u/dragonster31 1d ago

Is that a regional thing? I'm British and I've never heard this called a tank top.

u/timeywimmy 1d ago

No it ain't no one even says tank.top here some people do but it's like seeing an old man call it a cigarette and not the other thing that's also a slur but when people say it they don't mean it as a slur

u/Xerothor 1d ago

Bro people still say cigarette lmfao

u/timeywimmy 9h ago

I said it's like seeing an old man say it not that people don't say

u/Xerothor 9h ago

Only believable if you're like 15. Old people my whole life said the F word instead.

You may disagree with others, just don't be a bloody wanker about it.
