Budgie Smugglers is an Aussie coined slang word, originally for describing Speedo swimsuits, now it applies generically for all 'body revealing' swimsuits. The reason, use your imagination!! Speedos were originally an Aussie company, till bought out some years back by overseas concerns, like everything else we invented in Oz...sigh
