Get the skivvy mug.Swimming wearing underwear (skivvies) as a substitute for swimsuits, usually done with friends at night. Often involving alcohol and trespassing.
I wanted to go skinny dipping with her but wasn't quite ready to reveal the full package yet, so I opted for skivvy dipping in my boxers.
I was really glad I had worn my matching bra and panties last night when someone suggested we go skivvy dipping in a random hotel pool.

Regarding the etymology of the word, it is most likely another anglified French word, from the original "savoir," which means "to know." Like parley (also used in "Pirates"), which means "to speak," it was probably absorbed into the English vocabulary back when French was more of a global language.
