Undergarments, also called "underwear", "undercrackers", "lingerie" (undergarments for women), or sometimes "intimate clothing", are clothes worn next to the skin, usually under other clothes. Some clothing is specifically underwear, while T-shirts and some shorts are suitable as underwear as well as outer clothing. Suitability as outer clothing is, apart from outdoor or indoor climate, largely a social and sometimes even a legal matter. One of the criteria for shorts not to be suitable as outer clothing may be that it has a fly that avoids exposure of the genitals ...

Arthur, King of Time and Space is a "gag-a-day" webcomic by Paul Gadzikowski, based on Arthurian legend. The strip started on May 21, 2004, with Arthur pulling the sword Excalibur from the stone while Merlin looked on, and is projected to continue more or less in realtime, with the characters aging and the plot progressing one year for each year of the strip's run.

Undergarment - Ancient history. The loincloth is the simplest form of underwear; it was probably the first undergarment worn by human beings. A loincloth may take three major forms. The first, and simplest, is simply a long strip of material which is passed between the legs and then around the waist. The ancient Hawaiian malo was of this form, as are several styles of the Japanese fundoshi. Another form is usually called a cache-sexe: a triangle of cloth is provided with strings or loops, which are used to ...

Saline Valley was inhabited in late prehistoric times by the Timbisha (also known as Panamint or Koso). The village in Saline Valley was known as Ko'on, which also referred to the valley as a whole. The village was abandoned in the early 20th century and the inhabitants moved to Darwin, California. Saline Valley was a significant mineral source in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The Conn and Trudo Borax Company mined borax from the salt marsh from 1874 to 1895. The remains of this site can be seen today as a few shallow pits near Saline Valley Road. Salt mining began in 1903 at the ...

Like many other fishing villages in Hong Kong ...

In addition to the three major arcs, there are a number of secondary arcs, which appear less often and don't parallel the overall plot as closely. So far these include: The western arc, in which Arthur is sheriff in an old west town, with Lancelot et al. as his deputies. The western arc follows the overall arc in the broad outlines (while the newly-crowned king has trouble gaining the respect of his subject kings, the newly-appointed sheriff has trouble gaining the respect of the local ranchers), but not in all the details. ...

Not wearing undergarments under one's outer clothing is known in American slang as freeballing (or freebuffing for females); going commando and going bareback are also used for both sexes [3]. This trend shows that not everybody considers underwear essential for hygiene, especially for modern people who bathe every day. There may be sexual motives: with underwear as the final barrier to sex, not wearing it at all is a powerful turn-on for many people. Without sexual connotation, it may be preferred by some nudists in situations where a certain amount of body covera ...
