Where it comes from
Clipping of knickerbockers.

- Women's underpants. The debate here is not over whether raising £26,000 (and counting) for our troops is a wonderful thing – it unarguably is – but over whether, whenever times are tough and money must be found, our default reaction as women should be to take off our knickers to help out?
interjection
- A mild exclamation of annoyance.
