“Because mine needs restraints!”
In the comments section of this youtube video people are claiming that the FCRUs were dumped in John Boehner’s district.
Could this somehow be connected to last April’s “Mail a Million [FCRUs] to John Boehner” campaign?
“Underpants” actually sounds more juvenile to me than “panties.”
Do “jockeys” or “boxers” infantilize men?
Do women favor certain terminology because it is “childish”?
Or do you dismiss certain terminology as being “childish” because it is favored by women?
I guess I don’t get an infantilizing feel from “panties.” That’s just what they’re called. It signifies a specific kind of undergarment that “underwear” doesn’t really capture.
There’s always “underoos”…
I’m not going to continue the hijack any longer, except to say that, if you don’t understand why these things are different, you probably wouldn’t understand an explanation either.
As i said, each to their own. I’m sorry i brought it up, as it seems to have detracted from the substance of this somewhat bizarre story.
I think the difference is, perhaps, not as obvious as you assume.
It appears that the address mentioned in the article is in Ohio’s 7th Congressional district.
Boehner’s district is the 8th.
That doesn’t rule out a connection since the two districts do share a border, and it could be connected in some way even if they didn’t.
Huh? Then what do you call male panties? Underwear? But that could include an undershirt. Only you can assume it doesn’t, because then you could just say ‘undershirt.’ Or ‘bra.’ Problem solved. (Unless you’re in the UK.)
1630 panties. 10 trash bags?
163 panties per bag? I’m thinking a big trash bag could hold more than 163 panties. They compact fairly well. Maybe they were they granny panties? Or maybe they used ‘kitchen’ trash bags?
mhendo - while I have no problem with the word panties, and it’s my preferred term for that particular undergarment, you are far from alone in your dislike of the word. Here is a three-page thread on the topic from last year.
We now return you to your regularly-scheduled discussion of panty hoarders.
Manties.
Wouldn’t the word “panties” come from the word “pantalettes”? I say panties. Who cares?
But infants don’t even wear underwear.
Seriously, I can only recall hearing “panties” in reference to adult garments. Children have less need for gender-specific terms for underwear.
Can we go back to talking about how awesome a term “feminine crotch restraint device” is?
It makes for a way more interesting conversation than stupid nitpicking about adult/infantile terminology. Der Trihs even demonstrated the terms continuing awesome potential with the quick one-liner “Because mine needs restraint!”
Surely when we put our minds together for good and not being stupid, we can come up with some more sweet one-liners.
That was great Crafter Man
I truly lol’d on that one.
I showed that to my wife and she shared the following;
Friends are like panties..Some crawl up your butt. Some snap under pressure. Some get a little twisted. Some are cheap. Some are naughty. And some actually cover your butt when you need them too.
Amen
Bingo.
I mean guys have “tidy whities” and you’re complaining about “panties”?
The difference between women’s underwear and men’s underwear isn’t just what it says on the tag- they’re different fucking garments. It’s not my fault that tidy whities have become extinct and I’m wearing boxers, which I’m assuming you think is a much better word than panties. But don’t worry, you’ve pointlessly demonstrated to all of us how un-sexist you are. Your good deed for the day is done.
isn’t it tighty whities? Although I guess that the outcome is the same - keeping things tight is keeping them tidy right.
The nearest I can think would be y-fronts.
and guys have daks.
It took great restraint for me not to spew my coffee all over the monitor.
Bravo!
