First of all,
You fuckers need to bring out your own dictionary.
Budgie smugglers? I thought that's Australian for Gum Boots. Turns out, it kinda is actually, but for your Johnson & co.
Secondly, When wearing a thong (the real sexy kind) in a grocery store becomes a norm in your part of planet, I'm moving there permanently.
Third,
Lunch\Cafe in your beachwear?
Bro, you should've started with this.
Imma land there now.

I want you to pause for a second and think what the average person looks like.

Yep, though self selection plays a role here. If you feel like you look bad you will probably be less likely to go out in swim gear. The average you will see in swimmers is well above the actual population average.
