Why does the word 'panties' bother so many people? In addition to a slew of blog posts and message boards denouncing the word, The Huffington Post's Zoë Triska named it 'the worst word ever.' included 'panties' in its list of the 'Five Words That Need To Be Banned From English.' 'Panties' creeps me out.Īnd apparently I'm not alone. It's because I hate the word 'panty.' I hate the plural form of 'panty' as well.
Not because I hate underwear-I'm an ardent lover of underwear. Reading those words, I cringe a little bit. Every month or so, I receive a glossy coupon from Victoria's Secret in my mailbox.
