As everyone knows, there is only one truly terrible word in the English language, and that word, of course, is “panties.” It’s bad. So, so, very bad–worse than “moist,” worse than “smear,” worse than “secrete.” I’m not quite sure why the word “panties” evokes such a visceral, stomach-churning reaction in me and other people, I just know that it does. Perhaps it’s something about the word’s soft vowels, simultaneously juvenile yet over-sexualized connotation, and and sense that whenever the word is spoken, it’s coming from someone who relies on his mother for everyone but doesn’t know how to respect women.
