BUDGIE smugglers, an Australian term used since the 1980s to refer to close-fitting swimming trunks, is included in the latest update of the Oxford English Dictionary. A jocular reference to a man’s tight-fitting swimming costume or swimsuit appearing as if he has a budgerigar concealed inside it, ie. his bulging genitals.
The term “budgie smugglers” is derived from the idea that the snug-fitting swimwear resembles the shape of a budgerigar (a small parrot) in a cage. The nickname playfully suggests that these swim trunks leave little to the imagination. Budgie smugglers have become an iconic piece of Australian beach culture and are often associated with Australian beachgoers and surfers. Competitive swimmers often wear budgie smugglers during training and racing. The snug fit reduces water resistance, allowing for improved performance. Over the years, the design and fashion of budgie smugglers have evolved, with various colors, patterns, and materials available. Some styles have a drawstring waist or a more contemporary, low-rise cut.
The EURO 2024 has just started. I give them great support! 😀
They have all my support too
I know that when I lived in Australia 1978-98 most of the beach lifeguards wore budgie smugglers that were loose enough in the back and could be rolled up to reveal their gorgeous buttocks. You got to see the budgie in full flight as it were. Does anyone else remember that, or am I fantasizing? I’ve looked and looked online for pics of men in such swimmers but can’t find any.
