Is this true? americans call boxers "trunks"?
>>18540714i don't think i've seen a person under the age of 60 call them "trunks"
>>18540714Are boxers /fa/?
>>18540714I'm European and I thought they are called European and American boxers, respectively
>>18540741Yes>>18540757It is correct
>>18540714trunks are tighter fit
>>18540714I've only heard of trunks as in swim trunksI'd say those are boxers and boxer briefs
>>18540714The only time Americans use "trunks" is for "swim trunks". We call the one on the right "boxers" and the one on the left "boxer briefs".
boxer briefs are the ones that are tight to the leg. never heard them called trunks
back in the day in CCCP they were called ceмeйныe тpycы family underwear and they were kinda embarrassingmost people were speedos type underwear
>>18540714I call them both boxers, tight boxers and loose boxers
>>18540714People call them boxer briefs. Trunks refer to swimwear. I live in Northern California.
>>18541532I also live in Northern California. Trunks are shorter than boxer briefs, but similar. They're also called Brazilian Trunks. Boxers are your full cut shorts old shits wear over their goddamn diapers because they need something that loose to accommodate the diaper.>>18540991Wrong. Trunks are different than swim trunks. Trunks are just short boxer briefs whereas swim trunks are usually shorts with inside mesh.
>>18541126caveman input
>>18541547>Trunks are just short boxer briefsThat must be a highly specific regional thing for you, cuz I've never heard that in my entire life. And I grew up in the Midwest, have family in the South, and lived in the PNW for a few years.
>>18540714Trunks are for swimming, I've never heard anyone call them that. Also boxers are named after shorts boxers wear, why is it reversed in Japan?
>>18541034feels good that the balls hang free, but they are less forgiving on rear and front accidental leaks
>>18540757In American they’re boxer briefs or boxers
>>18541875>why is it reversed in Japanmaybe it's the australian influence
>>18540741no, freeballing make balls hurt, you need the support
