This morning I did the "hosanna shout" with my underwear. It was quite fun and I encourage others to join in.

Nothing beats airing you dirty laundry.

I'll pass.

Intended to be a social, faith-promoting experience; unless others were present (on Zoom or Skype), this was pretty much a bust. Sorry, but U get an 'E' for Effort.

It was a clean pair of underwear. After I took them out of the drawer, an uncontrollable urge to do it took over. I am not sure posting a video would mean anything to anyone as I have been lucky to have been out of the cult since 1980. I think that calls for another Hallelujah Shout!!

I don't like the word "underpants."

Well, my husband is from England and that's how they say it....I think it sounds cute! ;) The correct way to say it over the pond would be "me underpants" instead of "my underwear"...

'Underpants' is what we still use in Australia, along with 'jocks' or 'undies'. 'Knickers' has been borrowed from the UK for the girls.

I remember telling my 2 year old that he wasn't going to wear nappies anymore and that I was putting some underpants on him. He immediately laughed - somehow innately knew that it was a funny word.

Edited to add that 'nappies' = diapers

I remember doing this years ago at a church assembly. I didn't get any flack, because all eyes were on the lady who did it with her bra.

Please do not confuse this with the Susanna Shout

I thought the word for women and girls was "knickers" in the UK.
Underpants is a perfectly good word, and vital for the playground chant "I see London I see France, I see someone's underpants."

I never hear knickers being used anymore, but that is a fun word too!

In England, underwear for men are called “pants”. Perhaps years ago underpants was the correct word but no one says this anymore. If you’ve been in the USA for any length of time calling them underpants is understandable since pants in America means trousers. It can lead to some embarrassing but funny misunderstandings. Underwear for women are called knickers.

Sorry I am missing something here as a gentile. You mean Mormons do not wear under pants. Please educate

Okay... so I just saw a video featuring church bigwigs doing the hosanna shout...

And, as a nevermo, I now find this thread even more hilarious. Wow!

If only they had done it with their underpants ... ... ... Never mind, nothing could have saved that lackluster performance.

Shoot, I would pay to see that... are we talking regular tighty whities or Mormon style underwear?
