Ah ok that makes sense. I first thought the term shared a somewhat weird connectioin with the term "speed" in some way and some other, but I couldn't quite figure it out what it was.

I don't see many people my age and below wearing speedos, and even if I'd feel comfortable wearing them, I'd probably still think they're.. not all that cool at all. Had them as a kiddo though (age 12 and below).

Damn sure, in modern Southern societies it's the WOMEN wearing those.. Right?
