Canadian slang for underpants or underwear, used with the same breezy informality as 'gotchies' or 'gitch'. The word is particularly associated with Western Canada and has a warm, nostalgic quality — the kind of word you heard at home as a kid, not in polite company. Whether you're complaining about your waistband or losing your gonchies in a dare, the word never fails to bring a note of absurd humour to the conversation.
He triple-dog-dared me to run across the field in nothing but my gonchies and I genuinely considered it for a second.
