Definition of bathers, batha's ?

“Bathers” is what you chuck on anytime you’re heading for the surf, the pool, or any body of water suspiciously full of backpackers. While Queenslanders say “togs” and New South Welshmen flex “swimmers,” bathers is the classic southern term, sturdy and no-nonsense. The word carries a hint of sunburn, sand sticking everywhere, and that awkward dash across scorching concrete. Aussies treat bathers like a second skin—if you didn’t spill grog on them at least once, are you even local? Keep a pair handy; you never know when someone drags you on a spontaneous beach mission.

I spilled me grog all over me bathers—tragic stuff.
