Just a question about "panties". And not the garment , rather the word "Panties". This might be more an American issue but I don't know.
I just watched an episode of Modern family and, when the husband mentions his wife lost her 'panties' she tells him you cannot use that word.

I would love to hear peoples views and if you have every come across this before.
