Oh yes - the context I like hearing the word in is that knickers are something that a woman has to keep hidden, that it's a bit immodest or naughty to let them be seen. Which is in a way a bit weird - as people said on another thread, many women are happy to be seen in bikinis on the beach, and a lot of bikini bottoms are more revealing than some of the knickers women wear.
But I remember two female co-workers once, young women in their early 20s, way back when I had a summer job as a student. They were talking about a night out together when they got drunk, clearly one had been doing some ridiculous drunk dancing where she kicked her legs up. One said to the other: "I saw your knickers mate!" laughing. The other woman seemed slightly embarrassed, but clearly was not too bothered and acted sassy: "Yeah... well- they matched my dress."
It was a little bit sexy to know that, even between two adult women, the act of accidentally showing their knickers is something they might remark on.
(P.S. Thanks all for the many replies on this topic. Didn't think I'd get many.)
