[csrakate]

"Knickers" evokes images of silly looking golf pants on silly looking men with silly looking hats on their heads....Sorry, my luffly tart....but can hardly think of "knickers" as sexy.

also notice it says what Kate said as far as bloomers like undergarment, which is what I always think of when I hear the word. Just like other slangs around the world. At least it's not bad difference...unlike some words that mean something innocent in one country and totally opposite somewhere else.

I don't care what ya call them.......Just get them off :tongue:

[Hephaestion]

Does the word panties originate from the the word pantaloons but is now somewhat altered in concept.

pantaloons n.pl. (esp. women's) baggy trousers gathered at the ankles. [French from Italian]

That said, c.f. knickerbocker n. (in pl.) loose-fitting breeches gathered at the knee or calf. [the pseudonym of W. Irving, author of History of New York]

knickers n.pl. woman's or girl's (I beg to challenge the restriction) undergarment for the lower torso. [abbreviation of *knickerbocker].

Sometimes spoken in frustration, as in "Ah knickers!"

Makes one wonder how or why a Knickerbocker Glory (n. ice-cream served with fruit etc. in a tall glass) came to be so named. Now I have had erotic fruit served up before in the appropriate place, but there is something about adding ice-cream to the mix that results in screams which can shatter glass at 30 paces.

The word chocolate gets me going.

I hate Choc-O-L8. I hate Choc-lit too. There are other unpleasant pronunciations. It should be Choclut.

The puritanical side of me comes out when I hear that word pronounced any other way. It becomes the equivalent of walking past a used condom on the pavement.

Also I hate Children being pronounced chidren, dropping the L.

And the American pronuniation of Warriors is yukky too - Waryers. No, no, no.

It is Wa- rears.

[darkeyes]

Choccie S..me eats it 2 much an me needs bigga knickers..dangerous practice

..an children is pronounced..bairns

..an since this is a fun thread or meant 2 b..will refrain from ne comment bout the Fran pronounciation a the word warriors....:tong::bigrin:

Don't get your panties in a twist

[Sarasvati]

The combination of panties and chocolate reminds me to ask others if they've ever enjoyed eating a chocolate bar from a vagina.

I've found the twister very enjoyable. But the best is champagne or champagne and chocolate.

Whiskey from a cock is fab too. Can get hot though.

And for DE. If Padma (whose pic I have on my posts) shoved loads of chocolate down her knickers and invited you to come and eat her panties out - would you forget your misgivings about that word?

This thread brought to mind some terrible pronunications I hear living in Indiana. a few for ya!

Washington--- Worshington
Toilet--- Torlet
Ignorant---Ignert (fitting isn't it LOL)
Wash---Worsh

Drives me insane! There are about a hundred more but I won't bore you with the details!

[Bluebiyou]

Okay, panties/knickers...

How about an American kid on his first day of grade school (oh, say 5th grade) in Britain. About the time a mistake is made on paper with the student's pencil.
British teacher: Use your rubber.
American kid: MMMPpppppptttttttttttttttttttt!!!!!!!!!
(kind of early for expectation of condom usage, not to mention public!)

And how about using two common American phrases in Britain? After a large meal the Yank sits back and quite satisfactorily announces:
"I'm stuffed! Let's go for a ride."

I don't know for certain, but I've been told that in Britain "smoke a fag" means something other than a lethal firearms assault on a homosexual man.

And of course the WWII classic perception of each other as being 'fast'.
In America kissing was often an early accepted part of dating, as opposed to England, where kissing was a very intimate thing, just shy of sex.
So the British girls thought the Americans were 'fast' because they wanted to kiss so soon. GIs thought the British girls were 'fast' because they were willing to make love so soon after kissing!
...or is/was that just an 'urban legend'?

One of my favorite 'Americanisms' is the southern expression "fixin' to".
"Ahm fixin' ta go down ta da store."
Think about it...
"fixin to" means
"preparing to"
but is easily literally translated to
"repairing to"
One can almost imagine the original misperception:
Man #1 of social stature: "I'm preparing to go fishing"
Man #2 impressed or amused by man #1: "Oh, you're repairing to go... well, heck, I'm fixin' to go fishin' too!"

Tryin 2 work out how a lil bitta fun bout knickers stretches out 2 summat else..o well.. ya cant beat em...

Ok this is my pet peeve(s):

Concrete / Cement - Concrete is the grey hard stuff you walk on. Cement is just glue. In fact you can cement a relationship, you can have rubber cement, and asphaltic cement, none of which have a thing to do with concrete.


Concrete(n)- 1.A hard, strong construction material consisting of sand, conglomerate gravel, pebbles, broken stone, or slag in a mortar or cement matrix.
2.A mass formed by the coalescence of particles.

Portland cement -Binding agent of present-day concrete. It is a finely ground powder made by burning and grinding a limestone mixed with clay or shale. Its inventor, Joseph Aspdin (1799 – 1855), patented the process in 1824, naming the material for its resemblance to the limestone of the Isle of Portland, England. The cement combines chemically with the water it is mixed with, then hardens and strengthens.

Just saying :P
