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

[@Levi_Amongst_the_Watchers]

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.

[@WaywardVet]

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.

[@JPMadden]

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

[@WaywardVet]

@@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.

[@andirandolph8830]

Or if you wanna go with the more offensive, old school version, Dago tee.

[@JPMadden]

@@andirandolph8830 Half my family is Italian-American. I hadn't heard those undershirts called that. I do remember my grandfather wearing them. I never have, since they don't cover the armpits.

[@gk5891]

Fat Electrician "The Real Rambo - Roy Benavidez" It's worth the time, trust me.

[@WaywardVet]

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.

[@ThurgoodJenkins98]

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

[@raspycellist]

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

[@kegr1066]

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.

[@nancystanton955]

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**.

[@okiejay]

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.

[@jpaine619]

watch COPS... most guys arrested for beating their wife is wearing one of those. hence the name.....

[@JustMe-dc6ks]

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

[@pyro1047]

​@@JustMe-dc6ks Long as hell rambley explanation: Though commonly attributed to a mugshot of a Detroit man in 1947 that beat his wife to death, that's not real but has become "considered real" due to its popularity when searching for the terms origin. In actuality it's from the 1951 movie "A streetcar named desire", where Marlon Brando plays an abusive husband and wears the now iconic white ribbed tank top/sleeveless undershirt; hence the shirt constantly worn in the movie by the man abusing his wife 🙌🏻 = "Wife Beater". This bought the name around, then with Officers/Sheriffs/deputies responding to domestic violence calls/reports being one of the most frequent (and dangerous) calls they'll be responding to over their career, so naturally when the show COPS came out the featured LEO responding to a DV call/calls/report was a frequent occurrence when there wasn't a car chase or drunk driver, etc. At the same time those undershirts from said movie were cheap and commonly worn, as undershirts... and most people wanting to de-stress or just relax when coming home do what? Remove Excess clothing like shoes, outer layers of unnecessary clothes, pants even if you've got shorts to swap into, already got boxers/boyshorts on, or even just rocking the 'ole Whittie Tighties/panties. Or ya know, they'd just wear the undershirt as a shirt by itself. While wearing these at home, what's below would unfortunately frequently occur... Poor, stressed, and wanting to relax? Naturally a percentage of people will consume alcohol or drugs or whatever helps numb their stress/pain/anger/trauma/etc, but as anyone who's done that knows it only REALLY helps enough at first but even then it can only do so much before you reach the point the negative side effects begin manifesting, becoming stronger, and taking over more and more instead of helping you like at first. But now that's your "baseline" for relaxed and when you don't drink or dose your old "normal relaxed" feels worse (Especially with the negative effects from any physical, and the even worse mental (For me atleast) withdrawal symptoms) than the bad when you do so you still do it; Congratulations, that's the irreversible step that makes you a "Alcoholic/Addict" for life. Yes, you can recover and better yourself back to who you were before; but that damage didn't go away, your brain literally has rewired itself to crave "X" so you feel good especially when you feel bad and while out of sight out of mind works great, when it's in front of you again, or your under a lot of stress, or had a significant emotional event such as losing a loved one, etc... Those temptations, cravings, etc are still rewired and will reassert themselves to some degree and with only the willpower of the individual to hold it back and how intense the craving/temptation felt is or isn't making it easier or harder to resist. That's why a now Sober Alcoholic, ex pack a day smoker, successfully recovered drug addict will still say "Man I need a smoke", "What I'd do for a beer/pint right now", "God, I want a hit so bad right now" literally DECADES after they were able to break free of it when they get stressed out or has just been through a very stressful, depressing/sad, or traumatic event, etc. You might've let go of that need you had, but your body, your mind remembers... Combine these two and sadly lots of anger and stress gets wrongly vented out on the spouse, this can jump to any step as number #1 but usually starts as verbal/emotional abuse, progresses to physical abuse if the abuser doesn't get ahold of themselves or the one abused hasn't left yet, and if the abuser never holds themselves accountable and betters themselves for their partner then they usually start blaming them for all the abuse instead and the worse they get the worse they abuse them like an ouroboros until they end up killing them. Whatever step happened, they're shown on COPS or covered in the local news shown wearing that "Iconic Shirt" after or even during acts of domestic violence and bingo "Wife-Beater" goes from movie reference about the Tank-Top wearing "wife beater" to widespread and well know slang for tank tops worn by "Wife Beaters". Wearing ones fine and doesn't imply or label you as an Abusive POS "Wife Beater", but Abusive POS people that beat their Girlfriends/Wives frequently seem to wear them. P.S. His Wife or Sister-In-Law in that same movie was named "Stella" also known as "STEELLLLLAAAAAAA!"; so, at least from what I've heard, the beer "Stella Artois" in the UK is sometimes referred to as "A Wife Beater" as slang for the beer. (Also drunk lads and their friends screwing around drunkenly screaming "STEELLLLLLAAAA!", which I find pretty amusing imagining" [1](Depending on State, for instance Florida (For The Most Part) only seems so damn crazy compared to the rest of the US because their state laws allow police/arrest reports and personal information of the arestee to be public record anyone can search whereas most other states have some form of privacy protection where the news only gets a brief summary of events and possibly the suspects name and a mugshot.)

[@WaywardVet]

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".

[@gk5891]

@@WaywardVet The way I've always expressed it is... An NCO is like the Foreman or Supervisor. Officers are like management

[@Live_bet_bill14]

Any Fat Electrician or Fat Files reaction will get my 👀 Keep up the fire reactions 🔥 🔥🔥

[@JPMadden]

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.

[@davidnoel2977]

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

[@wikkedspindl]

There was more....cut off too early.

[@jimforman3754]

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

[@peensteen]

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

[@rodneysisco6364]

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 .

[@jpaine619]

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

[@jerzeyguy71]

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"

[@CH3NO2Semonious]

A clip I would love to see them react to!

[@PBRatLord]

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

[@timothyjohnson5758]

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

[@carlbeaver7112]

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.

[@Charlee1776]

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!

[@lontollison6771]

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)??

[@d2ndborn]

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

[@BigSith2011]

6:22 Derrick Lewis is a national treasure

[@leojamesclune1730]

"Derrick, why'd you take your pants off?"

[@MT-NTK]

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 🤣😂🤣😂

[@pyro1047]

That's what was so frustrating, they say they've reacted to a lot of TFE so they KNOW or have at least read dozens of comments saying watching TFE you need to wait and WATCH for the post credits many times for the payoff, whether for the joke or clips of the real war hero the videos about like Roy Benavides or Jake "McNasty", etc. He talked about beaver the WHOLE video with a straight face while you can see them smirking and 'bout to crack up from it. Then before Nick gloats about making it through the whole vid knowing damn well what he was saying how he got through it without accidentally making ALL the obvious jokes; AND THEY PAUSED RIGHT BEFORE THAT PAYOFF 😂. Was waiting for them to finally get that release and crack up about it but instead they paused it and never finished; felt like I got hit with a wave of disappointment and blue balls by proxy😂.

[@davemick7216]

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.

[@yazton731]

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

[@Gest-wg2yb]

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

[@ethanbrinkman3401]

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

[@timhefty504]

Rosie sounds like one of my coworkers

[@garyi.1360]

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

[@vernhoke7730]

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.

[@damonbryan7232]

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.

[@patrickmessinger7040]

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

[@chrisp308]

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

[@steeljawX]

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.

[@willyjoesal2741]

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

[@AndrewSmith-qw5kt]

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

[@farmdog93]

Yes longer vidyas you guys are awesome lol

[@michaelparham1328]

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 KZbin and their whole copyright strikes.

God, I wish that "Hawk Tuah" crap would just disappear. It's showing up everywhere that teens congregate and it's stupid as hell.

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