Gintoki, Shinpachi and others in “Unfinished Business”

I heard that, a long time ago, people wore no underwear beneath their clothes. Craftswomen, girls walking around the street, little girls, even princesses...

Isn't it all the same? If you wanted to give examples, you should've given a broader age gap to nclude old women, adult women and young girls.

You dumbass! We're not talking about underwear, panties or wearing nothing! If we were talking about lingerie, we should talk only about young girls!

Hey, only old men say "panties" these days.

Eh? Are you serious?

You can't say "scantily clad" either.

Nobody says that these days.

One thing you should never say is "thong". That word robs the girls from their shyness and deprives men from their joy.

Well, I'm wearing a tie-up thong! [Gintoki and Shinpachi get startled.]

You liar! That's a lie!

I'm not lying. I've been wearing the same garments for years now. But now they're so wasted, there's only the cord left.

What kind of underwear is that?

In a way, you may say it's "vintage panties".

They're not worth a cent. Take 'em off.
