They sound the same, which way is it spelled?

Edit, it’s the underwear that is white in this question.

    “White men’s briefs.” I assume there’s a term for when meaning can be misconstrued for humorous reasons like this. I think you’re responding to a joke.

      I actually read it that way and thought it was an odd choice to highlight that.

      It didn’t occur to me that that might not be what they meant until I read your comment.
