so where i live the generally accepted term for underwear is boxers i.e. the teacher tells a student to "pull up his pants nobody wants to see your boxers"

i was wandering if there is a place anywhere where the standard is something else?

Well of course. Boxers are only one type of underwear for a start and shouldnt really be used as a more generic term. But in the UK, so in true english, "pants" are underwear and the other things are trousers.

Well as far as I know Boxers are the standard throughout the Uk.
Almost everyone that I know wears boxers.

boxers are the silky shorts that are underwear, undies are briefs and everything else is just normal ... either that or I just don't think about it. (Sydney, Australia)
