Slovak on my dad's side. That's where I got it from. On my mom's side (Italian) they called 'em "long underwear", which apparently is Italian-American for long underwear.

I'm going to try again this AM (with apologies to the 310 who'll be receiving a duplicate).
Please post if/when you receive it.
Paul,
I got mine. Had a strange sense of deja vu, like maybe I'd gotten it before and forgotten (which would make me special like Scooter, but forgetful). Not sure whether I'd rather be special or forgetful. Forget why. :confused:

I'm half Slovak and half Italian as well, and I agree that is another word that needs to be used more often. Imagine asking a date to see her "gutchies" and having her wonder what her gutchies are? :p

I don't know about you, but back in my dating days I'd rather not date a girl who was wearing gutchies. Maybe "thongies".

Boy Italians must really like those slavs. My father is Italian and my mother is Croation. But my husband is German, Irish, & Indian. So our son is a true mutt!

Back in the 'Burgh, the predominant ethnic groups were Scots-Irish (or Scotch-Irish as we called 'em), Italian, Polish and other East Slavs, Serbs, Croatians and other South Slavs, some Irish (although most stopped in Boston or Philly instead of coming out West). Italians and Eastern Slavs inter-marry quite often, probably because they share the same religion. Serbs and Croats don't mix too well though. Too much history.

Too much history.By 'Burgh, is that meaning Pittsburgh, cause that is where my father is from.
