I cannot speak for the whole of mankind. As for me and my house (as Joshua once said), we’re underood.

I’m not going to pretend to understand that Piedmont term “underood”.  I’ve heard of ‘roos, but they are in Australia, never heard of ‘oods.

“underood” what does this word mean? Getting an awful time to search for this word. Actually I’m reading the bible and I haven’t encountered this word specially in the book of Joshua.

Underoos are underbritches. So underood (or maybe underooed) means that we’re clad with them.

so what’s the exact spelling? maybe this word is not yet in the dictionary co’z I can’t find it.

It isn’t in any dictionary, its an American “idiom”-like phrase from a particular area of the country:  Appallachia/Piedmont/SouthCarolina. And as for Joshua, the Bible doesn’t talk about underbritches.

Underoos is not in the dictionary, but neither is Seiko or Toyota. That doesn’t mean they don’t exist.

Saparris is not in the dictionary either. Does it exist???
And you can find anything in Wiki, but be wary of it authenticity.
I am aware of underoos for CHILDREN, are you still nourishing your inner child???

The way I go on and on, maybe I’m too encyclopedic for the dictionary.

Encyclopaedia? or maybe broken record.  Remember vinyl???

Remember vinyl???

There’s something new?

Oh I see! but I didn’t mean the word underoos. I actually found it in the dictionary. What bothers me most is the word “underood”. Maybe that is an American expression right?

Nah, its just an expression he made up to fill a need.  He’s like that.  Fills up the empty spaces with things that don’t exist.

He doesn’t mean to be rood, and is prepared to go the extra mile.

I don’t have a rood bone in my body: kanga, under, or otherwise.
