Subject: RE: Lyr Add: She Had a Pair of BVDs (Tune Ja-Da) From: GUEST,Roger Date: 09 Jun 23 - 02:51 PM I have always wondered what BVD's are. Answers on a postcard please. |
Subject: RE: Lyr Add: She Had a Pair of BVDs (Tune Ja-Da) From: GerryM Date: 09 Jun 23 - 05:48 PM Roger, I'm fresh out of postcards, but I do have access to Google. Wikipedia says, "BVD is a brand of men's underwear, which are commonly referred to as "BVDs". The brand was founded in 1876 and named after the three founders of the New York City firm: (Joseph W.) Bradley, (Luther C.) Voorhees, and (Lyman H.) Day (thus "B.V.D.")." |
