Wait?! "Panties" is a disliked word?

[Mr. Laser Beam]

^ See, not only does J here totally look like Captain Koloth, I can see him speaking the lines he just posted with Koloth's EXACT tone of voice.

All I could think of was Miss Congeniality:

"Once I stole a pair of red underwear from the department store. My mom wouldn't buy them for me - she said they were Satan's panties!"

Reminds me of the “days-of-the-week-underpants” scene in When Harry Met Sally:

SALLY: They had the days of the week on them, and I thought they were sort of funny. And then one day Sheldon says to me, “You never wear Sunday.” It was all suspicious. Where was Sunday? Where had I left Sunday? And I told him, and he didn't believe me.

HARRY: What?

SALLY: They don't make Sunday.

HARRY: Why not?

SALLY: Because of God.

. . .Sure, it's not as dignified as saying the article of clothing with which thy Lady covers her Female Anatomy, for the sake of preserving her Dignitie, in the face of otherwise-nakedness, [/sarcasm], but it's not as childish as calling a bra an over-the-shoulder boulder holder. It's just a different way of saying “lady's underwear”.

Interestingly, the French call a bra a soutien-gorge, which literally means “throat-support.”

That ain’t what it supports, Frenchie.

I know a lot of women who say that. It's humorous, not childish.

I'm sure if you took many of my quotes out of context, I would appear to be a dirty, dirty man.

I'd be a dirty old man... if sex was dirty. Whew!

For some reason, "throat" was a euphemism for a woman's chest in France.

Hush, don't interrupt - can't you see that scotpens is busy being More Clever than Everyone (Including the French)™?

^largely the same in the UK, except for 'underdaks' and i'd add 'kecks' for male underwear. and pants are solely your briefs, Y-fronts or underpants.

underroos is also sometimes used.

outerwear - trousers, slacks, jeans, cargos or joggers/tracksuit trousers...

You've got to love the subtle differences between words in English depending on if it's English, American English, Austalian English etc..

Confusion can arise if you use the wrong word.

 

[Miss Chicken]

I remember who a British member of this board once received a warning because he, after reading another member's tale of woe, commiserated by saying 'you poor sod'. An American mod looked up the meaning of the word and decided that it was an insult because of one of the dictionary's definition.

British and Australian members defending the user saying that it was not being used as a derogative term when the poster used it saying that the sodomite definition had long fallen out of use in their countries.

I hold a special loathing in the darkest depths of my blackened heart for VaJayJay...

It makes me never want to eat panini.

 

[T'Bonz]

*groan!*

 

[Nurse Marmalade]

I hate the word "panties." It's not offensive but it has always sounded dumb to me. I just say "underwear."

"Vajayjay" is idiotic too. Can you imagine saying "Puhneenee"? *eye roll*

 

[Amaris]

I like the word "panties" the more I think about it, because I think of sexy silk underwear, and that only leads to good things in my brain.

No thanks. Too heavy. Splinters are a bitch.

I've only worn womens underwear once. I thought they would be comfortable, but that was until I realised the front part wasn't designed for the male appendage. There is nothing more uncomfortable than having an "overflow" in underwear.

Some women like that.

Flip them around so the butt part is in front. You end up with a man thong!

Somebody objects to "panties"? For Christ's sake, find a real battle to fight. Seriously, ladies. This is what we find objectionable? Who gives a shit? Who discusses their panties in a work situation? It's not going to come up.

Especially when you ask if it’s OK to light up a fag.

Was that just out of curiosity, for a costume event, on a dare, or in a moment of chemically impaired judgment?

I see what you did there.
