    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.
