Crazy to hear the different perceptions of the different words but with the same meaning. I certainly would have thought that knickers was the more modern wording than panties ..

From Google,
knickers, first use 1881, short for knickerbockers. Mostly British English.
panties, first use 1908. Mostly American. British English is usually pants, knickers.
Interesting. Would not have thought that myself.
