An A formed white, tight,

engaged in domestic violence.

A white,
tank top typically worn by white trash men who beat their wives. NO wifebeater is complete without a 10 pound overweight/
underweight guy to wear it and
mustard stains :)
Example:
Ross Creed - "
Mary-Anne! Get me a beer!"
Mary-Anne - "We
aint got no beer!"
Ross Creed - "Well then get me a
hotdog bitch!"
Mary-Anne - "Here ya go.."
*Ross Hits wife pathetically while spilling mustard all over his wifebeater*

Also known as trailer park attire.
A
classless piece of shit rag with 4 holes, used as a garment to cover the torso.
Unless you're doing sports or working out while wearing it, it pretty much signals
you're trash.
Predominantly worn by males who lack character; mainly
slobs, thugs, and males looking to attract equally simple minded females.
Example:
"What's up with all those guys wearing
wifebeaters in public?"
"I know, right? It's like living in a
trailer park, or taking
a stroll through a bad neighborhood."
"Yeah, it's kinda sad. I guess it's just a result of the cultural degradation. Nobody dresses with style or class anymore."

Usually refers to any style of (usually) tight-fitting cotton shirts primarily worn by men as undershirts. Any of the types of
white t-shirt or
tank top that you can usually find sold in packages by the men's underwear can be classfied as a wifebeater.
While the "wifebeater" is worn primarily by men -- and presumably got the name because it is most often depicted as being worn as outerwear by men who beat their wives -- lots of women have taken to wearing them too. This is particularly true in the case of the cotton
ribbed tank top, which can now be found sold as outerwear for women as well as men, and which can also be found in several other colors besides white.

In Australian slang, "wifebeater" always referred to a
dark blue singlet,
such as is typically worn by truckers. It's only recently that we in Australia have heard the word coming from other parts of the world, and elsewhere it refers to a white singlet.
