budgie smuggler
Tight men's swimsuit
Budgie smuggler is Australian slang for tight-fitting men's swimwear—the kind that leaves little to the imagination.
The term conjures the image of a small bird (a budgerigar) concealed in the fabric: He showed up to the beach in budgie smugglers.
Also called Speedos or, in British slang, banana hammocks.
