Steve...chonies is a word we use out here for underwear, primarily used with kids, such as...'make sure to put on clean chonies'. It comes from calzoncillos,(men's underwear).
What's interesting about the word is that is has been picked up by non Spanish speakers out here in particular the surfers calling them choners.
