Bathing suits or swimsuits?

I’m 44 years old and it’s just now dawning on me that I’ve called bathing suits, bathing suits my entire life. Just like everyone (I think?), I assumed what I learned things were called is what everyone called them. Then, to my surprise, I found out there are different names for the same exact thing. What kind of crazy world are we living in!?

So the article of clothing you wear to the pool or the ocean, do you call them swimsuits or bathing suits? Or are you one of those goofballs that calls them swim trunks?

And Speedos, we won’t even go there! But on a related note, if you see a blue bathing suit somewhere in north Florida… and a black Speedo… and neither belong to you, can you let me know? I lost mine over the Labor Day holiday weekend. And no, it isn’t nearly as fun of a story as you’re thinking, get your mind out of the gutter!

Thanks in advance,
