Long johns, also known as long underwear or thermal underwear , are undergarments used in cold conditions to stay warm. They are essentially
tight pants, or rather, brief underwear but with legs that extend down to the ankles.
There are two schools of thought when it comes to wearing long johns.
Some guys prefer to wear them over their original brief style underwear, while others throw aside their briefs and wear the long johns directly as underwear, with
nothing on underneath.
Someone wearing their pants without underwear is said to be wearing them commando .
A person that wears their long johns directly on them, without keeping their original layer of
undergarment on underneath is wearing them long john commando .
Dave : ' Dude,
I don't really care, but I noticed in
the locker room after the hockey game that you don't wear any underwear under your long johns ... that's weird ! '
Simon : ' It's not weird, it's natural. Why would I wear underwear under my underwear? '
Dave : ' Nah man, I prefer to keep my briefs under, to avoid dirtying my long johns '
Simon: '
Different strokes for different folks, dude. I generally just WASH my long johns when they're dirty. Plus why would there be that handy flap hole for peeing if they weren't meant to be used directly as underwear? '
Dave: ' Hmmmm, good point. Think I have to try that. '
Simon: ' Sounds like you, sir, are ready to go long john commando . Welcome to the Brotherhood. There is no going back now. '
