What does “skivvies” mean in the U.S. and elsewhere?
In the U.S., skivvies is an old military term for underwear, so Hippie Skivvies essentially is underwear for free-spirited people. While we’ve not heard of any other definition for hippies, skivvies means different things in different countries. In the U.K., a skivvy is someone who is undervalued and worked to the bone (almost like being called a slave). In Australia, a skivvie is a turtle-neck shirt. Do you have a different definition of the word? Tell us!
