  @romin Usually it is underwear, but it can be users to refer to trousers, or jodhpurs, or breeches, or swimming trunks - but now the primary usage seems to be just underwear.

  As far as I can tell, trousers are usually just called; ズボン

  @romin The concept of females wearing underwear in Japan is a more recent thing that you would think - around 1932 such became popular.

Fire At the time, the Shirokiya Department Store was having a year-end Christmas theme sale, and the interior was extravagantly decorated. The fire started around 9:15am, shortly before it was to open for business, in the toy section. A clerk witnessed an electrical spark from a light bulb on a Christmas tree.

  @Zergling_man I wouldn't say I'm an expert, but I have picked up a vast array of knowledge in my reading of wikipedia and other sites, while also discerning and ignoring incorrect information (I'm very pleased when I come across rare still-unsoiled articles on free software).
