Girls, I think that we can get along if we think one thing americans think they speak englich but when faced with the Queens english we are lost, but on the other hand Brits dont speak American, when was the last time you heard a brit say Y'all. we are all a bit different but then we have more to share.
:be:
yikes!! I'm English and I call em panties-not knickers. Oh dear- I'm so confused!!Originally Posted by Sandra GG
No it's not it's knickers
Don't get your panties in a knot. It's our language too, it is too bad they get it wrong. Was it Churchill who said that we were two nations divided by a common language?
I don' think us Brits have gotten anything wrong here tranny T.What you seem to be getting wrong is how to talk to others with a bit of tact and respect,if you don't mind me saying.
I never posted this knickers vs pantie comment to get into a race war or a skuffle over such.It was more a survey type thing.

I think both terms of the word are both very fem. I would prefer knickers. Butr i still get a lil girlie feeling when i call them panties so either word is quite nice. kisses

Word "Panties" for me....and the silkier/sheerer the better!
Panties
I think most of the comments have been posted in humor; let's not get all worked up. After all, at the end of the day we're just a bunch of guys in girly undies, which is silly in itself, talking about a silly topic. :PI never posted this knickers vs pantie comment to get into a race war or a skuffle over such.It was more a survey type thing.

Panties or knickers they are all the same thing, its just that some people prefer to call them different things. I call them panties myself but in the end they are all just soft, lacey, sheer sexy bits of material that are great to wear. Much better than the old y-fronts. So just enjoy them and agree to disagree over what to call them.

Well on this side of the pond(american) the word panties is the common usage but I really do prefer Knickers. To me it sounds so much more proper. I can just hear the queen mum herself saying it. Oh wait...........nah she would NEVER say knickers <g>

definately panties for me. sounds more fem.
i prefer the word panties but i dont wear panties i wear thongs and g-strings!!!!!!
I prefer to call them pooh pooh undies
But given the choice of the two I would have to go with panties. It sounds more fem to me.
I still prefer knickers
but don't like women saying pants (which is what boys normally wear for underwear in the UK).
for me as a french canadian i call them ''petites culottes'' and in english i call them panties. I learned the word thong not long ago while shopping on e-bay and the word knickers is new to me its the first time i hear it.
I like the all
Knickers it is for me too. Much more fem. Pants (or Y-Fronts as they were called in my youth) is such a male name. The knee length trousers (pants to you Yanks) were called plus-fours over here and much loved even today by the golfing fraternity.
O fcourse in OUR version of English 'Knickers' can also mean 'rubbish' as can 'pants' as in 'that story is a load of old PANTS'
You Colonial cousins may think you have the correct usage of our mother-tongue but just remeber who invented it - the Angles, Saxons, Vikings, all before 1066, then we had the French but-in in 1066, let me see now Oh yes we'd not heard of America then had we.
Please note that this reply is very much tongue-in-cheek, and I expect you all to shout 'KNICKERS' at me...................
