We call them swimming cossies? I've never heard that in my life
We used it during the late 70s and 80s, I don't recall hearing it recently.
Yeah, its seems like etymologically, "bathing costume" got shorted to "bathers" for some people and "cossies" for others. But that's just what the internet tells me, I'm not British
Never heard the term 'cossie' in Australia, 'togs' and 'boardies' are common here though.
You forgot budgie smugglers.
It was definitely togs in Qld when I was growing up. Might be the old potato cake/scallop debate all over again.
