briefs

Tight underpants alternative

Briefs are short, close-fitting underpants without leg extensions—the classic underwear style as opposed to boxers.

The word also refers to short written summaries, especially legal documents outlining arguments for a case: The lawyer filed a brief with the court.

To brief someone is to give them essential information before an event or task: The general briefed the troops on the mission.
