Talking of Y-fronts, anyone apart from Roger old enough to remember "drawers, cellular"?

When I was a kid in the fifties in England, "pants" were trousers; underpants were, well, "underpants". And "vest" is also respectable, if old-fashioned, English English for waistcoat, as well as for undervest (a word you don't hear these days).

I remember grandad telling me that ion his youth, no working men wore underpants: they had lined trousers instead. I expect the snootier types wore something a bit more dainty, though.
