Comment on To refer casually to briefs-style men's underwear, is it Tidy Whities or Tighty Whities?

“tidy” and “tighty” are not alternatives spellings, or synonyms
Tidy means well kept, clean, put away
Tight relates to how much the underwear is “gripping/holding” while worn

They’re not synonyms, but they are close enough that when said quickly they can be homonyms

Thats very accent dependent
