Trying to Get Pregnant

s/o "underwears"

Just curious, because underwears makes me laugh, but what term do you use? Underwear? Panties? Knickers? Unmentionables?

I used to work at Victoria's Secret in college and the company called them panties. My roommate hated the word and yelled at me when I would talk about straightening the "panty table" haha.

  • Good ole underwear for me. But if they're super sexy then they're panties!
  • After that last post I am going to start calling them "underwears" because every time I see that word it cracks me up. Typically I use the singular version.

  • Usually underwear...sometimes I'll say panties. 
  • DH thinks it's hilarious to call them "underpants" so that's what we call 'em!

  • Underwear. I am not a fan of the "p" word.

    If there's one thing I've learned while waiting my turn,
    it's that in each life some rain falls but you also get some sun.

  • Panties, I think DH finds that the sexiest word for it

  • We have a running joke at our house, so no matter what they look like or whose they are, they get called "tighty whities!"

    I am becoming more fond of underwears myself, as well. But being that I only wear one pair at a time, I don't want it to get confusing.

    I think I DON'T say panties because of working there, haha (I hated it). I say underwear. My DH says "man panties" when he refers to his, which completely cracks me up everytime.

    Usually underwear, but sometimes panties if I'm feeling naughty  Wink

    oh, behaveWink

  • sometimes undies, sometimes panties :)
  • Underwear or chonies or chones usually.  Although, I do own a preschool and we talk to the little girls about wearing "big girl panties" when we are potty training them.  So "panties" doesn't sound naughty/sexy to me at all.  It's more of a "grown up" word and makes little girls feel like big girls.  *shrug*

    However, we usually use the word underwear at preschool .. i.e. "pull up your underwear in the bathroom!"

    It's a Mexican slang word.

    ...as for what we call them, it's draws. As in drawers, but with a southern twang they become 'draws'.

  • I'd have to say that it depends on the kind! If it's normal everyday stuff, it's underwear. If it's the sexy, "end up on the floor soon" kind, they're panties! ;)
  • Usually underwear. Sometimes chonies if I'm kidding around. I'm not into the word panties. 
  • panties

  • Chonies is Spanish slang.  My husband is bilingual but it's a common thing around here.  We even use it in the preschool sometimes.  I'm white and use it all the time. hahah
