Yeah, here in America, tank tops are often called wife beaters. Also, I've never heard them called vests before. Here, a vest is a sleeveless garment that buttons or zips or velcros or whatever, basically it clasps in the front, and also is worn over a shirt and in the case of suits over the shirt and under the jacket. Whereas tank tops are always worn either under all other shirts or on their own, without any other shirts.

Yeah, i wear vests over a shirt with a collar. But if i'm doing manual labor, i put on a wife beater. It's just what we call it.

At least some Brits refer to a vest for a three-piece suit as a "waistcoat."

@@JPMadden That's to classy for a military guy. That makes it sound like rich folk. I'm going to the nearest mine field. That's my safe place. Only the ghost of Winston Churchill will follow me in. He wore a waistcoat and pisses on minefields.

The night infiltration course was named after him when i got trained at Fort Knox. That was 2 decades ago. That name still rings clear.

Yes white tank tops are still commonly referred to as wife beaters. To us yanks, calling it a vest is weird lol

Dont let the length scare you 😉 😂 his videos are all worth a watch.

Geronimo's real name was Goyahkla, and you would think that it would have this deep spiritual meaning, but it actually means "One who yawns." Lol

Please watch to the very end. Nick always, well usually, adds stuff at the end. It can either be video of the main characters or him being a smart a**. For this one it was him bring a smart a**.

The chapter 1 title "Nice Beavers" is almost certainly a reference to the 1988 movie "The Naked Gun." "Operation Chastise," the real-life mission told in "The Dam Busters," was strictly a British "show," as might be said back then.

I should clarify something he said. The U.S. Military Non-Comissioned Officer corps has a few mantras. One is "If it's stupid, but it works, it isn't stupid". Regular officers have to follow rules. NCOs do what they can't do and the Officer will demote me if i'm truly off the rails. But this symbiotic relationship encourages us to push crazy ideas on Officers until they say "You might be on to something".

Yeah, we call tank tops "wife beaters" in the US. Especially the white undershirt tank tops. Not sure when it started. My grandparents just called them undershirts, but somewhere "wife beater" became a commonly used term.

It was before ‘Cops’. From like the fifties or earlier.

He's right about the wife beater term for the tank top. You can get them in any color.

I started watching myself, but I thought "Ash" will make this so much better. thanks for not making me wait too long.

The funny part about this is when not to be crude but when she said "Beaver Landing On their Face" hear me out the slang between the US & UK cracks me up because some from the US use a word will crack up the UK and same way with the US 🤣😂🤣😂

We were camping out on the shore of a lake way up in the wilds of the Adirondacks when one night there was a tremendous crash right next to our tent .I grabbed my shotgun and jumped out of the tent nude with shotgun at the ready and a flashlight . It turned out that beavers had gnawed down a large tree which fell into the lake about 30 feet from our tent . Incidentally , I HAVE had a beaver land on my face and it didn't hurt a bit or freak me out .Once you get past the smell , you've got it licked .

Healthy beavers should not have a smell..... Stop searching for beaver in the gutter...

Tank top shirts earned the nickname wife-beater from the TV show Cops. It became a trope about cops going to a domestic disturbance call and the guys that hit their wives/girlfriends tended to wear tank tops, hence the term wife-beater was coined.

That beaver had more jumps than some of my buddy's

Did you guys hear that America now has a King too?

"Airborne Beavers", huh? Prepare for Dad Jokes.

I know I'm late getting to this and posting but I just wanted to say that I'd be here to view any stuff from TheFatElectrician! I love watching how much he makes you both laugh as well as hearing what you both have to say about things. You could always consider putting them out in 2 parts if they are too long, then maybe you could even use it was a way to work in a bit of free time for yourselves. In any case, thanks for the great reactions!

Follow-up / interesting... there are quite a few good videos on YT that show how relocated beaver colonies have returned arid, desolate areas into viable grasslands, allowing all sorts of wildlife to return.

You want chickens to stop crowing? Easy. Next time they start crowing. Walk outside and set down next to their boxes. Start eating fried chicken. They get the hint quickly.

I live in the U.S. and I ordered a Ren Sick Boi t-shirt, $25 for shipping... I got it anyway, but that is easily the most expensive shirt I've ever bought. With tax and everything it was nearly $70. Edited portion: I didn't mean to complain or say the price was too excessive. Obviously, being shipped from across an ocean it is going to cost more. I was actually trying to highlight, the despite the cost, I still wanted a Ren shirt.

Now that was funny! Love you guys. Maybe think about making chicken stew.

ok, I am waiting for "I thought turkeys could fly" clip...ok, never happened, thats from a sitcom here from late 70's-80's, WKRP in Cincinnati. The manager of a radio station wanted to do a promotional live broadcast, threw live turkeys from a helicopter.. oh, ITS FUNNY !! Dave here in the States, a tank top/ sleeve less/ muscle shirt is nicknamed the "wife beater"

A clip I would love to see them react to!

We have a beaver in my neighborhood and he lives in the drainage system and I live right behind a shopping center but we are elevated about 15 feet above the center/u made that up a wife beater is a white tight fitting tank top undershirt(is that what u say R vests across the pond)??

You should watch till the end. He always has a post credit clip about the vid you just watched.

If the subject matter warrants a longer video, go for it. If need be, I'll watch part of it and go back later and finish it.

Growing up in the US I've only heard them called wifebeaters unless it was a business setting, in which they were referred to as tank tops

You always stop videos before the end. TFE and the doooo always have an end clip after the outro

Rosie sounds like one of my coworkers

Been looking forward to y'all's reaction to this video 🤣

Wife beaters only refer to a specific type of tank top, usually white, tighter fitting, thin strapped, and incredibly cheaply made. The sort you can pick up 10 of at Walmart for $15. Lol, never heard a tank top called a vest before

Seriously what women doesn't want longer, lol, no you guys are awesome just the way you are keep up the great work, (:

They are specifically a thin white ribbed fabric tank top which is meant to be worn originally as an undershirt. Poor men stereotypically wore them to the degree that criminals on the news and other, where often observed wearing them during domestic abuse calls

As long as the videos are interesting, the length doesn't matter to me.

Yes longer vidyas you guys are awesome lol

You do need to react to some of Nick's longer form content. There's a few that are about some British war heroes and I would love to see reactions on those. I don't think there have been many British reaction channels who have reacted to his videos on Sir Percy Hobart or Sir Douglas Bader and they really should.

I know I'd watch longer vids, but something else you could do is record the longer vids, and post the uncut footage to your patreon for whatever your minimum pledge amount is. That's what I've seen most reaction channels do. It also means you don't have to fight KZread and their whole copyright strikes.

if it's TFE or Home Free I'll happily sit for hours .

wow

Yeah, international shipping is insane. Ironically something printed in China would be far cheaper nommatter where you are.
