Difinitive research has been done by George Costanza.
Because of his work, the meaning of the term "shrinkage" has changed in popular culture.

------------------------------------------------------------
George Costanza: Do women know about shrinkage?
Elaine: What, you mean like laundry?
Jerry: No. Like when you're in a pool... afterwards...
Elaine: It shrinks?
Jerry: Like a frigthened turtle.
Elaine: Why does it shrink?
George Costanza: It just does.
Elaine: I don't know how you guys walk around with those things.
