Well, these shirts, "wife beaters", were dubbed with their nifty little nickname after a certain famous movie by Marlon Brando... I'm sure you all must know what movie, and why, now that I mentioned it. But they actually are tank tops.
Actually, the name 'wife beater' came from Tina Turner's husband Ike Turner. Everytime he would beat her, he would wear a tank-top, later becoming the wife beater. Ike is even wearing the shirt in his mug shots.
