Wondrous Words Wednesday is a weekly meme where we share new (to us) words that we’ve encountered in our reading and is hosted by
Bermuda Onion.
Before we went to China I had an idea about doing a poster called Chinese Laundry for my new laundry room. So I was on a mission to take as many pictures of laundry as I could much to the dismay of my travelling companions. And I did get many photos. We had a discussion about all the different expressions for underwear:
Scanties
Undies
Intimates
Lingerie
Knickers
Skivvies
Unmentionables
Panties
Smalls
Long Johns
Boxers
Bloomers
Drawers
Some new ones to me once I started researching this topic for this post:
Reg Grundys (Australia)
underkrackers
trollies
duds
kecks
And then you get into types:
Thongs
G-Strings
Tangas
And also found in googling (too much time on my hands) the typo
underware! More later on my intense dislike of typos!
And then we have the expressions:
Don't get your knickers in a twist.
Going commando.....
And now I'm off to put on my big girl panties and deal with today!!
