Tanktop
En Tanktop er en ærmeløs undertrøje med store ærmehuller og en stor hals til ned omkring brystet. På dansk vil man som regel kalde en tanktop for en undertrøje.
Slang
I USA kaldes den også for en wife-beater ((engelsk): hustrumishandler). Grunden til at den kaldes en "wife-beater" er, at man ofte ser mænd i trailer parks (lavindkomstbeboelse i USA) iført disse undertrøjer, og at disse individer ofte opfattes at begå hustruvold[1].
