Knickers or pants

Undercrackers..

I've always understood that a gazunder is a chamber pot, not an undergarment

Because it 'goes under' the bed...

Pants pants pants! Knickers are fancy things with frills. I'm a no frills sort of person.

Knickers. I loathe the word 'panties'. It sounds so sleazy.

Love the Harvest Festival knickers!! I go for comfort over style in most things now, especially underwear and shoes.

Knickers ........or drawers ?....can't abide the word 'pants'.

Knickers!

Pants - pants instead of trousers on men is an American import. Knickers to our family is a rude word!

So is a knickerbockerglory rude too ??

My Aussie friend and her family call them - duds - which my DC thought was hilarious when they initially heard it but then took it on board for the name they used.

Knickers - unless I say "winter draws on"

Not in my family Bathsheba! It was my gran’s joke so not original but who cares?

Trying hard...., but no, I can't remember when I last had any conversation that may have included the words knickers or pants. As a child I wore knickers, I always checked that my daughters had clean knickers (or keks as we would say in Manchester) - but in all honesty I don't generally have reason to say anything about them at all. And I really have no preference as long as people understand what I mean if I have call to use either term.

Knickers - Men wear pants

Does it matter?

Knickers (of course ), but I have said pants occasionally. DH wears underpants or pants.

Definitely pants. Hate the word knickers!

Pants. Knickers are great big things made from lock knit cotton with elasticated legs and waist and space to keep your hanky up the leg (at least that is what our elocution teacher did)

I wear knickers. My American friend wears panties.

I think knickers sounds coarse and I would find it out of place if I was asked to strip to my knickers at the doctor's. Couldn't they say "strip to your underwear"?

In German the word is "slip", too - most confusing. It's not as if, at my age, I "slip" them on. More like a hopping and rocking, grunting and puffing, till I'm there!

MOnica - you have described exactly the type of knickers that I wear. Mine are peach coloured and really comfortable!!

PS. I have more than one pair, of course, because they take about a week to dry. So one pair on and one pair in the wash!!

(Just in case I had better point out that I AM JOKING)

Knick knocks to the GC. I don’t really use the word myself but would say knickers. To an outsider (e.g. nurse or doctor) I’d say underwear.

Pants !

I wear Nana knickers, started off as a joke and has somehow remained.
