Spankies

A lamentable deficiency in my education was remedied by chance this morning. I ran across a posting on line by a former high-school cheerleader, who mentioned that the color-matched uniform panties beneath those delightfully right-sized skirts are known as “spankies.”

I could hardly believe that such a garment, already imbued with so much fantasy potential, could have such a marvelously inspirational name, but a few minutes of grepping around the internet confirmed it. Why, there is even a Spankies R Us store.

Not sufficiently distracted already, I ran across this bit of advice:

“While you may have to stick to plain, solid spankies during competitions and games, the sky’s the limit for practice spankies…”

Practice spankies.

Practice spankies.

Practice spankies.

That does it. My brain is shot for useful things for the rest of the day.

Practice spankies…
