Like the author of the article, I hate the word 'panties'. I always thought it was an americanism. Perhaps not.

 

Mine are just plain undies.

 

Yours?

Lol we did indeed call them grundies because at the time we were living on the Gold Coast back in the 80s and the kids used to love going to Grundy's Arcade in Surfers. The tem grundies orginated back then, for us.

Mostly undies. Sometimes it's knickers if it is a discussion between DD and I.

 

My 2yo nephew calls them jocks. I call them undies and he corrects me, they're his jocks.
