That's another question I have: does lingerie mean something else in Boro Park? Where I'm from lingerie is VS style undergarments, but here I see regular shabbos robes and hosiery sold in stores named "the lingerie shop" or the like. Definite culture shock on my side..

Don’t these stores also sell actual lingerie? Besides for loungewear.

I say nylons.

Many a generation (or 2) older than me said "hose".

I was surprised when a poster wrote that she tells her kids, “we don’t run around without a panty.”

My mom said "stockings". But she used to wear those stockings you had to clip to
a girdle to hold up. Anyone ever seen those? On the plus side, if a stocking ripped
you just replaced one stocking, while with pantyhose you have to throw out the whole
thing for a rip in one leg.

Its a chassidish thing. they say "panty", not panties. The Pampers is also a chassidish thing, as others mentioned.

Or you could say sheer stockings/hose.

I agree "tights" means thick stockings.

I wonder how many imamothers are actually saying boodgies with a long 'o' sound after reading this? With the hungarian intonation it's just too funny Smile

I've heard it with a softer oo, think footsies.
