    Ok, ES, you know what is coming next. Are you going to explain the difference between boxers and briefs? LOL That's why I just said underwear.

    I don't believe that. You must invent something to mix up foreigners in a better way

    Well, these are what I would refer to as knickers. See link!

    I also have a problem with distinquising pants/trousers. Slacks however, I think is the word you used in the old days, isn't it?

    What you posted are definitely panties! My grandma used the terms slacks and trousers more than people I'm around now do. Things are just pants.

    ETA: If I used the words slacks or trousers around my nieces or nephew, I don't think they'd know what I was talking about.

    The last time I heard the term "knickers" was on the BBC's Graham Norton show.

    Nigella Lawson was on and GN asked her about the stories in the media about her going 'sans knickers' often.
