_______________________________________________
(qep’a’ 2019): “This refers to underwear in general. To be more specific, say {rejghun yopwaH bID}, etc.”
PUN:
“has anyone considered that rejghun could resemble the Australian rhyming slang term - Reg Grundies' - to mean undies?” (Chris O’Regan)
SEE ALSO:
yopwaH bID shorts (n)
yIvbeH SeQHa' t-shirt (n)
tumI' sock (singular n)
paSlogh socks (plural n)
- "{paSlogh} is an inherently plural noun, grammatically singular. {tu'mI'} the word for one sock. The usual way to say pair of socks is {paSlogh chang'eng}; {tu'mI' chang'eng} is odd, but if you said it, you'd be understood." (De'vID < MO, 1/22/2016)
