I grew up in the UK and have never heard of this y front term before, I wonder if it’s regional. I have heard of briefs and tight whiteys. Based on my experience people in the U.K. will take the mickey/piss out of things like this more in general regardless of what it is.
- icc97 8y agoIf you grew up in England and your dad wore y-fronts then you'd definitely have heard of the term. I grew up specifically in the south-west of England.
