Budgie smuggler protest

I’ve never been a fan of the “budgie smuggler”. I won’t enter discussion about whether that’s because I have a big gut or a small appendage; that’s for others to judge, and a small number regarding the latter.

For the unaware, Urban Dictionary says a budgie smuggler is: “Australian slang term for men’s tight-fitting Speedo-style swimwear. The lump in the front apparently resembles a budgie when it is stuffed down the front of someone’s shorts. Ah, those crazy Aussies!”

There was a protest in Brisbane today against the Australian swimming team’s decision to wear full body suits instead of budgie smugglers.

I don’t care what the swimmers wear.

As for budgie smugglers, they look okay I suppose on men with a certain build. I saw an obese man wearing one at The Oasis swimming pool in Kalgoorlie and it looked ordinary, to say the least.

Not sure it’s a good look for Tony Abbott either.
