This is totally ridicules. In England today a man refers to his underwear as 
pants, as opposed to trousers as his outer garment. I have never referred to 
my underwear as smalls. A bikini is smaller than my underwear. And in garb, 
underdresses and chimises are not that small. And would a lady or gentleman 
speak about their underwear in public? As a newby to the SCA, I usually find 
these strains quite comical. However, the above kind of response makes a 
person "look ignorant and foolish."
