A delightfully blunt Northern English and Scottish term for underpants. 'Kecks' (or 'keks') is already regional slang for trousers, so 'underkecks' naturally refers to what's worn underneath — your underwear, your smalls, your unmentionables. The word has a no-nonsense Northern quality to it, the kind of thing you'd hear a parent shouting up the stairs. It's functional, slightly funny, and instantly recognisable to anyone from the North of England.
He'd been hiking for two days straight and was desperate to change his underkecks.
