Bathing suits
Do Americans really call swimming shorts bathing suits or is it just a karate kid/ cobra Kai thing?
shareApparently people in your strange land call bathing suits swimming shorts?
shareGood one.
Im refering to Daniel saying all the lads are wearing his bathing suits in season 1 episode 2
I understood... was just answering in a silly way. Yes, in the U.S. we call whatever you wear to swim a bathing suit. I've never heard them referred to as swimming shorts. Sometimes we might say swimming trunks for a men's suit, or bikini for the two-piece women's suit, but bathing suit is the standard term.

Speak for yourself. In my neck of the woods, no one calls a pair of shorts a "bathing suit". They are called "shorts" or, less commonly, "swim trunks". "Bathing suit" refers to what females typically wear when they go swimming. Do a Google image search for bathing suit. How many guys wearing shorts do you see?
