Definitely dependent on location.


The discussion I saw happened in exactly the order given on the poll - and, as far as I could tell, the first option ("undies") was from an upper-class English woman. The second ("panties") was an American who protested that the first just sounded weird. Then came... someone from somewhere... with "isn't it knickers?" followed by a guy who said the first three were all far too feminine...

?? but knickers is unisex. Is anything, slightly masculine, since Knickbockers are only worn by (young) boys.

Eek, no. Girls would wear knickers, never boys. At least where I come from. Boys wear jocks.
