"Knickers" are a British English word for women's or girls' underpants. In older English, it could also mean loose-fitting trousers gathered at the knee, but this use is rare now.

用法与细微差别

"Knickers" is British and mildly informal. In American English, "panties" is used instead. The word is more common in the UK and can also appear in expressions like "don't get your knickers in a twist" (meaning 'don't get upset'). The older meaning (trousers) now sounds old-fashioned.
