Yes it has always been a common word for babies pants ....you know the rubber type with frills that go over a nappy ? Perhaps it's not in such common usage these days..it's a long time since I had anything to do with babies..

Holly in Aus we called the plastic pants put over nappies Pilchers :yuk: They were horrible things but I guess they helped to keep bedding dry
We personally call our underware Jocks for the boys, Knickers for the girls .

I thought this was going to be a thread about swear words that ladies don't like but turns out it's more about underpants (which is what I like to call them) and words like moist and chunky. :) Chunky makes me think of chocolate cookies with big chunks of chocolate in them. Moist makes me think of a nice cool towelette to wash my hands with after I've eaten fried chicken or a leaking ice cream cone. Swear words don't bother me much but I seldom use them myself. Words I can think of right now that disgust me are Stinky, Luggie, and Snot. I might have spelt luggie wrong but its a ...... oh never mind.
 
None of the words on the list bother me.In fact I can't think of any words offhand that do, although I can think of a few words that I do like: purple, plum pudding, charming,celestial,turquoise ,lamplight. Want to put those in a sentence Phil?:playful:
 

I don't find the words offensive in the list. I can figure out #1 but...it is what it is...and I always thought that was a good thing, right?

Which brings us to the word "panties". All americans consider it to be a ladylike and feminine word. Victoria Secret is highly respected worldwide for lady's lingerie and they use that word so I doubt it's offensive.

The 2 words I find most offensive is using "Jesus Christ!" as a swear word. Why don't unbelievers say "Oh Buddha!"…:rolleyes: …and the P word is Highly disrespectful to all women in america. I don't know about other countries.

Easy - I can even do it in that order:

Purple plum pudding is charming and glows a celestial turquoise under lamplight.

Isn't "fannie" a bad word in the UK? It just means one's rear end here in america or is also used for a woman's name (like actress, Fannie Flagg) and of course Fannie Mae (a financial institution).
 
None of the listed words really bother me. But, I do find using the "F" word, several times in every sentence very offensive. Along with much of urban slang. The English language, in itself, is beautiful...why not use it?
Now I can add another word to those I find offensive...Oz's .scungie makes my skin crawl for some reason.
 
I never heard the word "knickers" before this forum.
Where did it come from?
How is the word formed...from what?

A word that does disgust me along with more women that will admit for one reason is:
******!

Ladies pants ( underware) are known as knickers in Australia ,some brands label their knickers as such , ( seen some in a large department store this morning ) and that's why it's good to have members form far a wide we can all learn something everyday :):)
Sorry I can't ,but someone may be able to answer your question on how they became know as That.. Thinking about it it could be more than likely that it's a slang word...

One of the tall office buildings in downtown Orlando used to say "THE FIRST, FA" across the top in huge letters. A bank called "The First" was the primary occupant in the building and "FA" stands for Federal Association, which is a banking designation of some kind. A British friend told me that some British tourists liked to take pictures of the sign because of the "FA", which she said was short for "Fanny Adams", apparently a mild expletive. I guess it would be the equivalent of Americans seeing "ASS" on the top of a building.
 
The c word is offensive, not fond of the p word either. Never use the word panties, like any therapissed I have ever met I can swear like military when required. Can tone it down also. The f word does not bother me, many Canadian women of my generation certainly are comfortable with it's usage.
 
I'm with you Shalimar regarding the C word and also the P word. I guess I was tired today because I didn't mention them in my earlier post because I didn't want to write them out. I didn't even think about just writing C and P. I had to get up about 5 a.m. to make it into the big city for an eye dr appt so that is my excuse for being so sleepy and not being able to think. :)
