In between brief and square-cut

[sebbie]

...on contemporary word usage. I went thru pages of images on Mankini and they all had shoulder or neck straps...nothing that looked like a sunga, which is a slightly looser fitting brief with about a 6-inch side. Some bottoms were more nearly thong-like while others looked more like a conventional brief. Its the tie between the shoulder/neck straps and the bottom that defines the mankini.

If word usage in an occasional blog somewhere is slipping in to use Mankini as a generic term to describe any skimpy brief worn by a man similar in size to a woman's bikini bottom this is an incorrect change in usage that should be corrected in the blogs that use the term that way.
