Xuzi Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 DH and I were watching an old clip from Whose Line is it Anyway last night where a girl was carried onto stage by Wayne Brady, and her skirt rode up, showing her underwear. Drew Carrey said to her afterwards,"Aren't you glad you listened to your mother?" I then muttered "Mother always says to wear clean underwear!" and my DH looked at me and said, "No, it's always wear sensible underwear!" I had *never* heard that colloquialism worded that way, but DH insists that's the way it goes. So, is it "Mother always says to wear clean underwear." or "Mother always says to wear sensible underwear." ??????? (and yes, this is a totally frivolous post. :lol: ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xuzi Posted June 27, 2016 Author Share Posted June 27, 2016 Well, this has been decisive. :lol: I guess he meant thongs or other types that you wouldn't want strangers to see you in. The woman was wearing what I would call "full coverage" undies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The woman was wearing what I would call "full coverage" undies. Hmmm. I think I'd have been more embarrassed to be seen in granny panties than a thong back in my younger years. Now they'd both be mortifying. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SproutMamaK Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 (edited) Agreed with the others. Clean underwear, sensible shoes. What it sensible underwear, anyway? Is he expecting someone to stare at a woman's underwear and say "well that woman hasn't got ANY sense?!" Is that a thing? (You know what, pretend I didn't ask. I think I'd rather not know the answer. :lol: ) Edited June 27, 2016 by SproutMamaK 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hornblower Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 What type of underwear would a man wear that wasn't sensible?!?! oh lol, there are a lot men's undies that are definitely not sensible. even good old amazon has them. Just add the word s**y to your men's undies search and you can shop for lots of fun, if somewhat uncomfortable looking, stuff. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amber in SJ Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 Clean. And my mom used to add, "In case you are in an accident." My dad would say "If you are in an accident it won't matter" Or he'd say, "If you are in that situation first you say it then you do it." That one referred to the "s" word.

Guest Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 (edited) What type of underwear would a man wear that wasn't sensible?!?! Speedos come to mind. Not underwear I know but I'm sure there are underwear like them!! Unless your entire body is waxed and your dancing onstage for a bunch of inebriated women.....then that's a different story. But I don't want part of that either. Edited June 27, 2016 by texasmom33 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always thought ginormous "briefs" were only for very old old men (a misnomer if ever there was one. There's nothing brief about the acres of unnecessary fabric on those things...)

katilac Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 Clean, most definitely. Although I would say that "and in good shape" is also implied. My mother's generation takes the underwear thing very seriously. When dd went to the summer academy at UA last summer, my mom went to the store and bought her a week's worth of new underwear, apparently fearing that I did not take the old saying seriously enough, lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theelfqueen Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 And if it were my mother it would be "Always wear eye makeup -- you look all washed out" (Which I don't --- wear eye makeup that its, don't know if I look washed out but if I do I have for about 15 years cause that's the last time I wore makeup LOL) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starr Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 Clean underwear goes way back. I remember it was in case you ended up in the hospital. My great grandmother loved to iron my nurses uniform and - my slip! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
