PANTIES!!!

Yes, that's what we call them where I come from. I don't make fun of y'all for saying "knickers", so plz to STFU.

Did I miss something? *scratches head*

A bunch of people on my flist are bitching about the word "panties" today. Why today, I can only guess.

[physixxx.livejournal.com]

like bitching that you used it in a fic or in your journal entry??

[frances-veritas.livejournal.com]

Huh. So out of all the other things people can bitch about...they're bitching about the word panties. Silly. I can only imagine how a conversation like that can go.

[eireinn.livejournal.com]

Well, we call them undies, so bah! :P

[emmagrant01.livejournal.com]

It's general bitching actually. It's not related to a post of mine, as far as I can tell.

*sniggers*

you said panties....


*sniggers more*

And does it matter what you call your own undergarments? Are you a bad person or an imbecile of you choose one over another? I think not.

[lunalelle.livejournal.com]

Your 'p' and 'ies' is inferior to our two 'k's with a nice little kick in it. And our 'n' owns your 'n.' Besides, everyone knows the long E is lame. The shorter E is cute and trendy.

*shutting up now*

[emmagrant01.livejournal.com]

I'm even wearing them now! Got a whole drawer-full up the stairs, in fact. ;-)

plums

and if you stick a plum in your mouth its underpants

*cheeky grin*

[qurinas.livejournal.com]

I'm with you! ;)

Though, as an interesting side note, Emu made a comment at Con*Strict that "panties" in a story squicked her because it gave her the impression of underwear for little girls not women. I don't know if it's an Oz thing or a her thing...

But, as for me, I love the word! hehe

[eireinn.livejournal.com]

Not at all. Who cares whether they're knickers or panties or undies or anything else?

[emmagrant01.livejournal.com]

I think people are taking this with varying degrees of seriousness, but I fear some people really are passing judgment on what one chooses to call one's undergarments. I have no idea why.

[awaywithpixie.livejournal.com]

*snerk* promises not to laugh at funny sounding words.

Of course, you could always call them Reg Grundies... That's the Aussie rhyming slang for them here...

[emmagrant01.livejournal.com]

Okay, what? I have no idea what you just said. :-P

[lunadeath02.livejournal.com]

I, personally, see nothing wrong with panties or knickers. It's better than just writing/saying "underwear", I think.

[lunalelle.livejournal.com]

I don't exactly know what I said either. But the poster above me asked what you could possibly argue about with knickers and panties, and since the difference is in the sound, I was playing with letters and sounds.

It's late, and I'm not entirely together.

[emmagrant01.livejournal.com]

It's one thing in a fic that's set in a particular part of the world, but dammit, the garments I wear on my own ass that only my husband catches a glimpse of are called panties. Why is that a problem?

[emmagrant01.livejournal.com]

And you can call them whatever you like. I'm still trying to figure out why people are so up in arms about this. Anyone who speaks English knows words vary from place to place. WTF?

[pombagira.livejournal.com]

Oooo... i have some of thoes.. they match my bra's.. (i blame my flatmate for this)

and..



*laughs*

[emmagrant01.livejournal.com]

I just felt the need to stand up for my own word. ;-)

[frances-veritas.livejournal.com]

hahahahhahhaha:-D

ha

:-)

[emmagrant01.livejournal.com]

Ah, I see. I was trying to figure out of there was some code there I was missing out on. :-P

[awaywithpixie.livejournal.com]

You mean people are seriously angry about this? I thought you were joking. oops.
