Interestingly, I have a real ick / aversion to the word “knickers” - it really makes my skin crawl and I can’t say it out loud.
I would say pants if talking about normal functional underwear, or panties in a sexual or porn context because so much of it is American, but I would never ever say “knickers.” If anyone else said it, that would make me shudder.
If someone else said it and I needed to type it for some reason, I’d just type “underpants” rather than “knickers.”

I hate this too and ‘cummed’ is woeful. I prefer ‘orgasm’ myself. I hate when people use ‘cum’ in place of ‘come’ in a non sexual way because they’re trying for some sort of flirty innuendo. Thats more likely to dry me up 
Queue the cum comments…
Also hate ‘mmmmmmm’…that makes me thing of a dirty old man with a sticky playboy 
Also queue the mmmmm comments

You are my people.
@DevilishDan me too!! I can say it but I prefer not to.
We are pretty light hearted and fun so I knew I was safe when I referred to his penis as “old mate” 
I’m English but that Australian term I’ve picked up since living here works for everything. I’ve also referred to it as “good sir”.
But most of the time I say dick. I never liked that one either but I’ve gotten desensitised

Absolutely true wouldn’t be good if its a one way feeling.
I’ve used the ‘p’ word on here as it means ‘sexy pants’ to me. I hope I have not annoyed or offended anyone with my choice of words. That said, I take the point that some words are a real turn off that others find a turn on. I dislike fk, sg, also the horrible ‘c’ word
I shall continue to wear knickers/undies/briefs/lingerie and enjoy everyone else’s kinks, quirks and whatever language they choose to describe their pleasure

Another Americanism (sorry to any readers from that neck of the woods) but “eating” a lady/pussy/etc gets me, the aforementioned “lick” is surely closer to the point. “Eating” just sounds a bit ick to me.

I don’t like ‘eating out’ either, I also don’t like the word pussy. Too many men have talked about stroking my pussy when I’ve mentioned that I have cats. Thats an immediate ick and block for me, theres not a chance of me wanting that person anywhere near my lady bits. There is absolutely no passing go when you make sexual remarks about my cats. And I know thats not the intention, but we also know they’re making a sexual comment in the same sentence that they’re referring to my cats.

I don’t think anyone needs to change how they speak on here though just because others don’t like some words. We’re all adults and for me as long as you’re not using it with the intention of bothering me, then say whatever you want.
But if someone was chatting with me with the intention of wanting to take things further and they said some of the things that I detest, then that would bother me and we’d have to have a chat about it.

Being from the United States we pretty much never say knickers when referring to women’s underwear. It’s pretty much the word panties. Just cultural/language differences. It’s all good on my end as language differences and different ways of saying things don’t bother me, it’s rather enlightening to see the cultural differences we have and still get along.

Well, technically yes
I think @JoCat is absolutely right, use whatever language you and your partner find attractive, it really doesn’t matter what the rest of the world thinks.
Having said that… for me:
Pants or knickers for everyday wear, sexy underwear or lingerie for the bedroom and never, ever panties. In my head, it associates with underage, which is an absolute ick. I do think this is mostly a US/UK divide though and associations are different with where you’ve been brought up.
Moist, I rather like, not in sexual language but in everyday language I’m perfectly happy using it… though I think that might be mainly because it irritates so many people and I find that funny (Sorry! )
@Gareth , I agree, I would certainly rather eat a lovely light, moist cake than a damp one that’s been left out in the rain!

@JMS55 totally agree with you regarding culturally differences, language and our upbringing.
I moved to NZ 27 years ago from the UK and was surprised by (but welcomed) many differences between the two societies especially around the use of certain words and phrases. The many different words & terms used got a bit of getting use to including underwear for men we in the UK know as ‘undies’ were better known as ‘daks’ or ‘underdaks’ and women’s undies could be referred to as knicks, pants, knickers, panties, lingerie or plain & simple as underwear. All very confusing…
Given my recent entry into the world of wearing female pants (or knicks or knickers) my exposure to the terminology that I use has been from what my OH uses, and from literature.
Given my recent research and reading has predominantly been American based publications & websites, the term most predominantly used has been the word ‘panties’. So this is the term I’ve been using. I rather like it but…
Given that LH is a UK based site and most members are probably British? then I’m happy to accept and start to use terminology more acceptable to the majority of folks.
Happy pants/knicker wearing days

Totally agree and you’ve been so helpful & supportive the last thing I want to do is upmost or annoy you by using inapropriate or ‘icky’ terms. Happy to be well educated

Don’t have a problem with panties - we use it as a naughty word. Just used it when picking up a pair of the wife’s of the floor. “I’ll pick up your dirty panties you naughty girl!”
Knickers is the everyday word when referring to ladies underwear. And for some reason trollies for boxers!
‘I’m wearing pants today’ is slightly less sexy than a used teabag.
‘I’m wearing panties today’ opens up a whole world of naughty possibilities.
