Clicky poll: How do you say "underwear"?

Inspired by laud's orange panties

I'm talking about for women. I say panties, because that's what they are. But I've noticed that there are a lot of people who don't like that word. So how do you say it.

[Poll]

Re: Clicky poll: How do you say "underwear"?

  • OK, I had a lot of other options up there, but it screwed up and posted before I was ready. Now it won't let me edit the poll.

    If you have another word, just tell us. 

  • I don't mind the word panties but I just use the word underwear.

  • hate the word panties...I say underwear

    I grew up with two brothers and am from the north, if that makes any difference?

  • i also am not a fan of the word "panties" so i choose to call them underwear!
  • I usually call them underwear, but every now and then I say underoos.

  • I call them either underpants or underwears.  The "s" at the end of "underwear" is important there.  I don't know why, but I do stress the "s".

    Ditto. HATE "panties."

  • I think I say both?

  • I thought this would be a pronunciation question like how do you say "tomato" or "pecan", and I was thinking "well, I never realized there were different ways to say underwear".

    I love the Barenaked ladies song that goes "I could hide out under there.....I just made you say underwear". It makes me laugh.

    These are all my thoughts on this topic.

  • Ok, maybe those weren't all my thoughts on the topic, it is quite vast. I only say panties when referencing that someone's are in a wad
  • I have never really thought about it.  I think I say 'draws' (with the southern accent of course) more than anything.  I am not offended by panties and use that term as well.

    With that said this young lady probably doesnt use either term b.c she doesnt wear them.  Taken Times Square on New Years Day.  And yes after I took the picture I totally told her that her skirt was up.

    You're nicer than me. I would have let her walk around like that. That's what she would have deserved wearing that awful outfit.

    Surprise
