covers

An alternative name for boxers, so called because of their primary purpose. The term originated and is most frequenly employed in North London. Appearing clad only (or almost only) in covers is an indicator of blissful, graceful insouciance, such as that which is experienced by one living that thug life. Contrary to widespread belief, combining one's covers with a t-shirt, dressing gown and slippers/flip-flops demonstrates not sloth but pure sartorial savoir-faire of the very finest variety.
