I always thought of "undies" as a general abbreviation for "underclothes",
male or female, upper or lower; but (like, say, "tummy") as a term
mainly used by or in the presence of children, or by adults being
intentionally ironic.
I also think it's time for someone start a thread about something
completely different.
