rashies
Beach sun shirts
Rashies is the plural of rashie, Australian and New Zealand slang for a rash guard—a close-fitting shirt worn for sun protection and to prevent skin irritation while swimming or surfing.
The term reflects the casual diminutive endings common in Australian English: The kids need their rashies for the beach.
