I'm sure there was discussion somewhere, by t_i_n, of how some Portuguese-speakers use the word 'panties' to refer to underwear of the male variety. I asked a Portuguese friend about this, to confirm, and she said she had never heard of this use before. What's one to make of this?
Your memory is slightly faulty. It was a Venezuelan who had used the word in that manner.  |

Yesterday we thought a little ultra-modern music might be nice.

You'll have to have more peas if you don't want any courgettes. Am I cruel mother? You can't answer this as you'd be off-off-topic.

Merely corroborative detail, intended to give artistic verisimilitude to an otherwise bald and unconvincing narrative.

And I have been gotten back to: Panties for me is a femenine underwear, and medias pantis would be a long king of socks that women use from the feet to the hips. Does this answer anything? Am I still confused? Oh, I think I am. Maybe moreso, but I feel I am closer to the truth. |

Some times I'm afraid convention must give way to conscience. You have been reported to the NSPCC. |

I'm not a girl from Kalamazoo.
Don't know about medias panties, but did you know that your media naranja is your other half? Dated any orange segments recently?
