Do You Know What' GOING COMMADO' MEANS?

Oh that boy. I had heard that term before..lol...I would have done anything to see the look on your face when he said that!! Was that Anniefannie there when he said it?

Glad to be back ! And no, I did not know this at all. He is such a treasure and I know that you love having him around you. So yes, you really taught me something today. Please say a prayer for my GD tomorrow as she is having the surgery on her eye. Please God it will be successful and she will have vision in that eye again. Am staying with them and will look after GS tomorrow. Many blessings my dear friend.

LOL I knew what it meant. Learned about it years ago when there were pictures popping up in every magazine of Brittany Spears in a dress without underwear on. Ick! My 4 year old loves going commando, and I don't get why. Anytime I hug him or get near him I give him a little tap on the butt and I can tell he's not wearing underwear so I make him go get some. I'm so used to it now that I don't even need to touch him, I just ask if he has underwear and he gives me a look that tells me he does not.

Hahaha. Very cute. Kid's say the darnest things and they are so cute.

Too funny! Where did he ever learn that one? I mean my husband uses that term but he learned it growing up with two older brothers..

When I was just a kid I thought that expression meant not changing your undies. At least, it's close enough.

I learned that a few years ago, ewwww

I knew what the term signifies, but what I don't know is why.

[b]Ohhhh my Jo!! A little too much information for you, eh? He sounds like a real charactor! But what is his father teaching him? Shame shame on his daddy! But you've got to admit, it is really funny! Now I've got a funny story to tell you, when I was engaged to my first husband, he and I were taking a trip up to NY from VA to meet his family and he told me about how they used to "Sit around and shoot the sh*t" and being as young and naive as I was, I didn't know what that meant so I kept quiet hoping to figure it out as he talked. Finally I had had enough and asked what he meant by that and he told me it's a term that they used when they sat around and talked about anything and everything. I laughed so hard because that's not the idea I thought it was!! I told him that I thought they had some sort of weird competition of going to the bathroom and see who could shoot it out the furthest! He laughed too! Oh gosh, those days are long past me but the memories are still with me![/b]

He is so funny!! Yup, I knew that one already. Pretty good that he can teach Grandma something new! LOL!!

Never to old to learn Anti ,how funny is that.I love them at that age so funny and sweet.

Hi friend, little kids are very smart now a days, i am sure your grandson is one among them, he is very crazy and funny, i have a great laugh after reading your topic. Convey my regards to that smart boy

In the "war" of briefs & boxers, I have long chose neither. I can be very active. Both of these optiions can be extremely annoyiing and restrictive. For me personaly, nothing underneath is freedom and normal, as long as the pants themselves are comfortable, and fit properly. This now lets me think of the possibilities of all kinds of tailered clothing, may be awkward and maybe expensive, but worth it. When ever I curiously revisit both options, I am reminded of all the inconveniences, (from extra laundry to the damaging design flaws of both, this brings me to why I abandoned them long ago, but I cannot remember where I 1st learned the term going commando. I will research the origins of this term when I have free time.

Oh, that's too cute! I never learned of it until I was back in college and some frat boys are messing around the hallway. Anyway... It's funny, how an eight year old will catch his own grandma off-guard with stuff like this.

I used that expression once and my dad was perplexed at first. When I explained it to him he felt that if HE didn't know it, I shouldn't have known it.

Wonder how that came about. Did he say where he got the idea?

Thats one i already knew and i found it out at quite a young age though i don't think i was quite as young as eight.I'm not quite sure where the phrase originates.Apparently its either because special forces don't wear underwear in the hot and and humid jungles to keep themselves more drier as they have less layers to get wet.The other possibilkity and the other possibility and the one i think is most likely is that they are ready for action if you know what i mean.Apparently thing that made the phrase really popular is being used on an episode of friends.

Too cute... Yes, I knew what that meant already but find it cute that an 8 year old knows it and chooses to go commando already.

Oh, yeah of course. I have known this for quite a few years now. It was never a term when I was young, in fact the thought of not wearing underwear never occurred to anyone! But it seems common with kids these days. My son has never liked wearing underwear and knew the term commando from a very young age. I have no idea where he heard it.

Nope, I actually have known what going commando was for quite a while now. I learned this term when I was in college. Now that I have a son that is getting a little bit older, I really find humor in the fact that he does choose to let people know that he would rather go commando than to wear underwear. With my son, it is absolutely impossible to keep him in underwear all the time. He likes things to hang freely.
