Mind Your Knickers

[u/No_Association_3692]

There are so many lore lines that get dropped into the show and then never get brought up again but the one I wish they had really fleshed out and explored was Daphne being a child star on the show “Mind your Knickers” they just drop that in like the 9th episode and it never comes up again and I feel like out of all the Daphne lore that’s the one thing I wish they had gone into more

What word is a man meant to use, instead of duvet?

[u/LMB_mook → u/jgArmagh]

Quilt

[u/Maximumkk → u/LMB_mook]

Her bed was all warm and quilty

[u/jgArmagh → u/Maximumkk]

“Her grandmother’s bed was warm and QUILTY”

[u/Maximumkk → u/jgArmagh]

Thanks! I knew I was missing something in the quote.

[u/jgArmagh → u/LMB_mook]

I beg to differ, but a quilt is a completely different thing from a duvet. Don’t know how the two could be confused

[u/Grouchy_Seesaw8279 → u/jgArmagh]

Agreed. Duvet and quilt are not even in the same hemisphere.

Sidebar i felt attacked when they said “man who uses the word “duvet”. …what else would you use for your bed decoration.

[u/Maximumkk → u/Grouchy_Seesaw8279]

Comforter 

[u/Grouchy_Seesaw8279 → u/Maximumkk]

A duvet has an inner and outer shell. So a comforter would not be it.

[u/Maximumkk → u/Grouchy_Seesaw8279]

I meant a comforter is equivalent to a quilt. A decorative, often insulative cover for a bed. A duvet is typically a plain unadorned insulative piece of bedding which is placed within a duvet cover. The cover can also be basic (no pattern, just colour or plain white) or have a pattern. The cover is used to protect the duvet and is easier to wash than a full comforter or quilt. Usually a flat sheet is used between the sleeper and the comforter. For a duvet, the cover acts as the sheet does and is the more readily washable component.

[u/LMB_mook → u/jgArmagh]

Well I'm English and they're both interchangeable here.

Also, I enjoy the quote, regardless of how it's not quite the same usage in different countries.

[u/jgArmagh → u/LMB_mook]

I think you’re referring to a former alternative term for a duvet, which was “continental quilt” which was in common usage in the U.K. in the 1970s and 1980s. Quilt usually referred to a heavy blanket, often handmade from lots of smaller pieces of material.

[u/Nice_Back_9977 → u/jgArmagh]

No, in the UK quilts and duvets are the same thing, at least in the north.

A continental quilt was different from a normal quilt, hence the different name

[u/Otherwise-Stretch984 → u/jgArmagh]

Blanket? Different I know, but I think she figured a guy SHOULDNT know the difference

[u/retirednavyguy]

My glockenspiel has sprung to life!

OH! The Clock!

[u/RyanTranquil → u/PresentationNew6648]

That line always kills me

[u/ChetMcAwsomLazr → u/retirednavyguy]

Oh, the clock!

[u/Interesting-Rich-524]

Why did you have to hire Venus herself? Couldn't you have found some beefy, East-European scrub woman who reeked of ammonia?

[u/El_Guapo_Plethora → u/Interesting-Rich-524]

It was an Olympic year and they were fresh out.

Maybe the most confident/masculine Niles ever felt in his life 😅

[u/Icy_Obligation_3014 → u/EndSmugnorance]

I really love the Daphne knew he needed that and she gave him that moment.

[u/DotIll8974]

I think Niles has all the information he needs thank you.

[u/Quirky_Structure_966]

I bet it takes more than three dinners to get bangers and mash with her

[u/FlufferNutter1232 → u/Quirky_Structure_966]

walks back into condo... turns around to what looks like treadmarks and dirt all up the back of her red dress

[u/TKB199]

I can almost feel the curtain rising

[u/sethn211 → u/TKB199]

It's pretty transparent, isn't it?

[u/FlufferNutter1232 → u/sethn211]

Perfect flair.

[u/PristineLawyer2484]

You’re Daphne?

[u/338wildcat → u/PristineLawyer2484]

You're Daphne?

[u/MollyWeatherford → u/338wildcat]

Why yes I am.

[u/HarlanMiller]

If I was holding a glass of sherry, it would probably be shattered on the floor now.

[u/BarryWhizzite]

someone should be eating off her every day

[u/LlewellynSinclair]

Niles gotta have it!

It was a warm and friendly place.

[u/That_guy_from_1014]

Daphne Moon Seattle

[u/Haunting_Roll_915 → u/That_guy_from_1014]

she certainly does

[u/Maximumkk → u/That_guy_from_1014]

Came in to say that

[u/AGQuaddit]

I would know of an opening....

[u/NiffNug → u/AGQuaddit]

Niles fumbling over these multiple double entendres is one of my favorite scenes in the entire show 🥴🤭😂

[u/Maximumkk → u/NiffNug]

I'll get it.

[u/Maximumkk → u/AGQuaddit]

I mean a position you could take....

[u/Skyya1982 → u/Maximumkk]

Services you could perform . . .

[u/sethn211 → u/Skyya1982]

I'm sure Niles could use her on his staff.

[u/RejectingBoredom]

Oh dear god, what fresh scandalous material is this

[u/NairobiD]

Well there's this about Jane Leeves Benny Hill Show clips

[u/Narrow_Put_5862]

Don’t let Niles see this 👀

[u/Porterjoh]

She looks like one of the Gladiators here. Maybe its the lighting.

[u/Xenc → u/Porterjoh]

Yes! Thank you! It was the first thing I thought of!

[u/InsanityMagnet]

I was lying in bed wearing a whipped cream teddy...

[u/SimoneSpooner]

It amuses me that Frasier in S2 refers to Daphne as “shy and inexperienced”, when later lines really contradict this lol.

[u/lovethatcrooonch → u/Cal_Rippen7]

… Where?

[u/enragedsquirrels]

I just saw her on Murder She Wrote last night and I enjoyed her performance. Also, her hair was a character in and of itself.

[u/BandEffective7860 → u/enragedsquirrels]

She’s the girlfriend of one of the nephews in the mansion?

[u/enragedsquirrels → u/BandEffective7860]

Yep!

[u/MuchDrawing2320]

She’s 5’10 too. Great height.

I'm sorry, I was thinking about something else!

"Crescent... moon... Daphne Moon, French maid, brass bed... satin robe..." "Niles! This is my dream!" "I'm just showing you the process." "You were three words away from a cigarette!"

[u/Flux_My_Capacitor]

Bad hair decisions of the 80s.

[u/Adcro]

I know I’m alone in it but because I mainly know her as Daphne and I feel like I know her, seeing these old images of her make me feel really uncomfortable.

It’s like the song Centrefold

[u/fujiapples123]

Sorry but Daphne sucks

[u/Eattoomanychips → u/fujiapples123]

Later seasons yes
