"Though I still have no interest in the kind of underwear you favor"

Jackie--huh? I don't get that one. Besides, I don't wear any underwear.

Oh, many moons ago there started to be posting about what kind of underwear the guys favored. Embarrassed me to death. I thought you had said something in a subsequent thread, but I must have misremembered--sorry!

Besides, I don't wear any underwear.
AUGH! TMI, TMI, very MUCH TMI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jackie, don't get your knickers in a twist!

He calls himself by a human name, but remember, on the internet, no one knows if you are a dog. (and where is jim the dog these days?)

Not that i am suggesting Alex is a dog, but he could be, or he could be a cat, or even a roach-- we do have an occational posting by archie. who'd expect a dog or a cat or a roach to wear underwear?
Alex, what ever you are, you are welcome here...

Actually, I do wear underwear, but an interesting term exists which is employed concerning those who do not. They call it to go "commando" as in "I didn't have any clean underwear Friday night so I had to go commando to the party at Jen's house."

Last year when I was an intern, I did a rotation on the urology service at the VA hospital. One day in clinic we had a 60-something year old patient return for a post-operative visit after having undergone a circumcision about one month before. He stated that his penis was hurting and wondered if there was anything that could be done about it. (You can see where this is going.) So I asked him to drop 'em, as it were, and so he dropped his jeans and I was truly shocked to see that he was without underwear, i.e. he was going "commando." Naturally our advice to him, which he seemed truly surprised by but receptive to nonetheless, was to start wearing some underwear!.

My dear husband said that the phrase "going commando" used to mean underwear-less came into popular use because of the TV show "Friends". True or false? I don't remember hearing it before the show was around, but the timing of my life is such that I many not have discussed the concept much before then, either!
