A British colloquial variant of 'knickers' — women's underwear. The '-ies' suffix adds a softened, familiar, almost childlike quality to the word, making it sound less clinical and more playfully casual. It's the sort of word your nan might use when folding laundry, or that pops up in light British comedy. In everyday use it's interchangeable with 'knickers,' just slightly quirkier.
She lost her knickies at the campsite and spent two days wearing her swimsuit bottoms instead.
