    “Damn girl, you looking good in that Tankie”

    “I’ve got nothing else to wear but Tankies to go out and do my laundry”

    “Oh shit 4 for 12.99 Tankies!?!?”

    “Aw, I got my Tankie dirty, I gotta go change”

    “Okay I got my billowing UFO pants, just need a cute Tankie to go with it.”

    I still remember the time my current partner’s mom saw me wearing a Tankie and immediately started accusing me of perpetuating Italian-American crimes against her daughter

      “wife beater” is the word used frequently to refer to white a-frame tank tops (tankies) where I’m from. I do not appreciate that name, but I love the idea of using that word until a lib or conservative will try to explain what a ‘tankie’ is to me.
