goes commando
Skips the underwear
Goes commando means to wear no underwear beneath one's outer clothing.
The phrase likely originated in military slang, suggesting that commandos or soldiers might forgo underwear for comfort or practicality in the field.
It's informal and slightly playful, used when someone deliberately skips this layer of clothing: I forgot to do laundry so I'm going commando today.
The expression gained wider use in the 1990s and remains common casual slang.
