In the United Kingdom, Ireland and some fellow Commonwealth nations, knickers is a word for women's undergarments: "Don't get your knickers in a twist" (i.e. "don't get all hot under the collar," or, in US usage "don't get your panties in a bunch."  
Golashes?? Can we have a spell check on that one plse Tropi?

Crumpets are great with melted butter and jam or jelly to our American friends, and i do mean the bread related crumpets not a hot woman , but i'm sure that would taste good too!!!
