  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,326 ✭✭✭Zapp Brannigan


    Panties said in a wierd perverted accent. Oh yes.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,055 ✭✭✭snickerpuss


    Eh i just say underwear. Knickers just sounds too cutesy or something.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,441 ✭✭✭✭jesus_thats_gre


    Box covers.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 37,214 ✭✭✭✭Dudess


    Panties and lingerie just sound intensely sleazy. Knickers - it's a good solid word.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,249 ✭✭✭✭Kinetic^

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,017 ✭✭✭*Tripper*


    "Get those fukin knickers off ya love" Yep knickers


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,578 ✭✭✭Scraggs


    Knicks or knickers. Panties with an Irish accent sounds so creepy...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 37,214 ✭✭✭✭Dudess


    Panties sounds the worst when someone says it in a sleazy American drawl. Said in an Irish accent it just sounds silly.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,350 ✭✭✭Lust4Life


    Depends on the situation and the garment.
    Lingerie? Naughty Knickers!!!!!!
    The righteous whities? Panties.
    Thongs? well, let's not go there. I've spent too many years keeping stuff OUT of my crack!

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,216 ✭✭✭✭monkeyfudge


    Both sound wrong to me... Can't we make up a better word? How about 'gloob-globs'?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,261 ✭✭✭rsta


    I call them smalls, well cos they are pretty small!

    tooth floss some of them really.. ;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 843 ✭✭✭PrettyInPunk


    knickers.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,373 ✭✭✭Irishpimpdude


    Depends which type , Gat,thong,gstring and granny panties


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 141 ✭✭scorpy


    pants, or the odd thong. 'panties' just sounds disturbingly... frilly.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,838 ✭✭✭Doomspell


    no panties sounds wrong.....knickers for me:D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,506 ✭✭✭muletide


    panties definitely


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,469 ✭✭✭Pythia


    'Knickers' or sometimes 'underwear' even though I know the word actually has a more generic meaning.

    Pants or knickers


  • Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 30,657 Mod ✭✭✭✭Faith


    Underwear or knickers.

    I find "panties" is just an uncomfortable word to say. Like moist. And I feel there should be a "th" in there, instead of just the "t", so I can't say it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,023 ✭✭✭il gatto


    Sex aids, erection initiation devices or occasionaly, obstacles (not really. Probably knickers or just underwear).


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,793 ✭✭✭✭Hagar


    Drawers. A good old-fashioned name.

    growing up on the east coast they were pants but when I went to uni in the west, pant were suddenly trousers so they became knickers. I think my boyfriend just calls them "the most expensive triangle of fabric in the world"!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 14,277 ✭✭✭✭Rb


    Very odd bump Tar!

    Underwear/lingerie.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,875 ✭✭✭Seraphina


    underwear
    panties seems childish and knickers reminds me of my granny.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,658 ✭✭✭✭The Sweeper


    Panties reminds me of titties, and there's no way I'm ever going to voluntarily refer to breasts as titties.

    Pants it is.

    Knickers sounds like Knackers, and gives me a mental image of some ugly scanger pulling them down, so she can have a shag behind Abrakebabra.

    So, Panties, it is.
