Taken out of context and alone, this has got to be one of the most disturbing quotes I've ever seen on this board.

J. knows too much. He must be destroyed.
The word “pants” is always funny. That’s why David Letterman named his production company Worldwide Pants, Inc.
Ever play the Pants Game? Just take a movie or book title, or a common quotation or line from a song, and change one word to “pants.”

Wow. This is a new one. I've never in my life met a woman who had a problem with the word panties. I never even knew it was a PC meme until now.
I think whoever has a problem with panties must have their tightie whities in a twist.

I don't think it's a PC thing, mainly, it's just a silly sounding word.
First time I've ever noticed anybody having a problem with the word. 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".
I have abslutely no problems with the word 'panties' nor with using The word 'undies'. Australians shorten dozens of other works such as 'brekkie' for breakfast, 'firies' for firemen etc
Good one.
Would that mean you would have to avoid using the term pants then? After all it's the male equivelant of panties, both being underwear. (at least in the UK)
Because, like the Borg, political correctness was so overused as a threat to society and dumbed down over the years that the term lost all its power and meaning?
In the US "pants' means the things you wear over the lower half of your body as outer wear. (Jeans, dress pants, trousers, etc.)
The male equivalent of "panties" is, well, "underwear" but there variations of that. Briefs, boxers, and boxer-briefs.
As far as I've ever known women for the most part only wear a variety of cut on panties and I've no idea what the names of all the styles are beyond "bikini-cut" and the type usually called "granny panties."
In Australia
Female underwear - panties, undies or knickers
Male underwear - undies, underpants, jocks, underdaks, boxers, briefs
Outerwear - jeans, trousers, pants, slacks
Female underwear - panties, undies or knickers
Male underwear - undies, underpants, jocks, underdaks, boxers, briefs
Outerwear - jeans, trousers, pants, slacks
^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...

The Statler Brothers song "Do You Remember These?" was, I believe, once banned by the BBC because it had this line:
"Movie stars on dixie cup tops / And knickers to your knees"
(in the US, 'knickers' were men's trousers that, yes, went down to about the knee. In the UK it means, well, panties)

I'm sure if you took many of my quotes out of context, I would appear to be a dirty, dirty man.
Fortunately, I'm as pure as the driven snow.
You'll have to find me first, and THIS time, I'm not giving you my address as a clue.
