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
“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.”
