however, vest and tank top seem to be exactly opposite in uk and us.
do i have this right? i'm confused.
vest us = sweater type thing with no arms, or middle part of 3-piece suittank top us = wifebeater
vest uk = wifebeatertank top uk = sweater thing with no arms
have i got that the right way around?

You Know You're In A Preppie Enclave When . . . the PA in the stationery store comes on and says "Someone to front counter. Customer needs help finding cocktail napkins with the little frogs on them." This really happened in 2003! And during the war, I swear!
