What 🩲 means
Snug briefs, worn as underwear or as swimwear. The picture covers both, so context decides between laundry talk and a swim.
Packing lists, laundry and swim training use it. It also appears in playful or cheeky jokes about underwear.
In Australia, tight swim briefs have the slang name "budgie smugglers."
