The French Word For Panties George C. Scott Heard While Overseas?


When asked if there wasnt another word that could be used. George C. Scott said he had heard a french word used when he was overseas, but was rather "Suggestive". The judge says "Most french words are". Does anyone know what french term he was referring to?

I don't know with certainty, which French term he was referring to, but my guess is lingerie.

I also got the following when I looked up the French word for panties:


la culotte
panties, pants, breeches, knickers, briefs, rump


le slip
pants, panties, underpants, shorts, knickers, trunk


le slip de femme
panties


You know that last one, "le slip de femme" sounds suggestive *g.*

I would've said lingerie or agent provocateur
