It seems to be so many names for them: white briefs, tighty whities (or tighty whiteys), skivvies, y-fronts, underwear, pants (in the UK)…. so, what do YOU call them?
You can choose more than one option but choose what words you use most often. If we’ve forgotten a word, tell us in the comments (if you’re on the main page, click on the title of this article to see the comments section).












De-Briefed: Under It All

in west canada lots of us call briefs “gotch”
How do you pronounce that? Never heard of it!
its pronounced gaw-ch
Cool – will keep it in mind on my next visit
Love to call them UNDERPANTS, like we did when i was a boy!
I alwys call them underpants or pants
just briefs
I agree with Alex: I like to call the underpants, because it’s a little bit embarrassing: especially when you’re in white briefs in front of guys in boxers or boxer briefs. But I like tighty-whities and underwear too.
