It is used in Canada, especially in the Prairie provinces (Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta) and parts of British Columbia, to refer to underwear, typically casual or everyday wear for men, essentially interchangeable with "gitch" and "gonchies." People typically say "I need to buy new gotchies" or "He lounged around in his gotchies." The term originated in Canadian English, likely from Ukrainian or Germanic immigrant influences, and remains a regional marker of Western Canadian speech.
