Help me in English language!

Knickers are pants that come to your knees and are sort of fitted with a band at the bottom causing the fabric to balloon out just a bit.

No, no, those are bloomers!

If it is not too indelicate, can I ask what you call the garment you wear under your pants?

[Moesha]

Underwear or panties, but only women wear panties.

Yikes. Don't do an image search for "knickers"! LOL

Knickers.

[Killearn Kitties]

Those are Plus Fours! The sort of thing golfers used to wear? So knickers go on the outside then?

[Moesha]

Yes, knickers go on the outside.

So knickers go on the outside then?

They would be rather scratchy on the inside!

[Killearn Kitties]

OK OK, I just thought from Moesha's original description that she was talking about something that went underneath your clothes. I was still concerned about what Barbara might say to her colleagues, which is more that she deserves after bringing up the missed plane issue the other day.

[Edwina's Secretary]

KK...men wear briefs or boxers under their trousers. Although I have read there are some men who wear panties....

I knew revenge was on its way

[Moesha]

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.

[Barbara]

These (on Moesha's picture) would be Knickerbocker in German. And I always thought bloomers were a similar cut- but woman's panties/knickers in the time of our grannies, white, with lace at the hem?

[Moesha]

Yes, that's what bloomers are. Women would wear them under their dresses in days long ago.
