banana hammock
Skimpy male swimsuit
A banana hammock is slang for a man's brief, tight-fitting swimsuit or underwear—the kind that cups the genitals snugly while leaving the thighs and hips exposed.
The term is humorous and slightly crude, evoking both the shape and the way the garment cradles its contents: He showed up to the beach in a banana hammock and nobody knew where to look.
