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!!

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 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."
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.

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