Everybody knows Oprah named them that... duh.
The reason nobody calls them that is because Oprah's a dolt... duh.
And the reason nobody "tightens their knickers" is because they don't see fit to... why tighten what shouldn't be there? Au Natural is the way to go... I suggest you join the program.

The Original short trouser like leg covering item of clothing was called "Knickerbockers"..this got shortened to "Knickers"...and later (to the UK anyway) became a term for underwear..
