Today is June 22, which Twitter has proclaimed as #NoPantyDay, or "No Panty Day" for the uninitiated.
But this has brought up an interesting discussion in the Ology office today: shouldn't it be "No Panties Day"?
Of course, nobody wears "a panty." Even one singular piece of underpants is still underpants/panties. But in this case, when we're talking about a hypothetical undergarment that is being negated and may not even exist to begin with, maybe we ought to call it a panty, singular?

We queried our Fashion Editor and panty-expert (or is it panties-expert?) Lauren Caruso, who weighed in on the subject:
"STOP SAYING PANTIES," she said, then followed up with: "and yes, em, it's plural."
Hmm. A little inconclusive, if you ask me, especially coming from a so-called panties "expert."
Here's another thought: If panties are plural because there's two of them (one for each leg/butt cheek), what if half of your panties were missing. Like, you might say, "Oh no! What happened to my panties?!? I only have one panty left!"
I don't know. I feel like I really need some help on this one. Anyone? Bueller?

Anyhoot, if you're interested in finding out more about No Panty Day, head on over to the Twitter, where people have been posting some really filthy photos, the likes of which I've never seen on Twitter before.
Rumor has it that No Panty Day was inspired by No Pants Day, which takes place the first Friday of June, and is a day designed to encourage people to break social taboos. Or, No Panty Day could simply be the product of some sexual pervert who had an idea on the internet one day. Or, most likely, both.
So get them panties to the floor, ladies! Or if you only have one panty remaining, get rid of that one, too.
