Now, before you get your panties in a twist, most “clit piercings” aren’t actually through the clitoris, but through the small flap of skin above the clitoris, called the clitoral hood. There's also a derivation (possibly the origination) of 'panties in a bunch', which is 'Don't get your knickers in a knot!' Has a nice ring to it, and might not turn as many heads. 'Take a chill pill!' Is another common one.

Sage advice, and a nice mash up of “don’t get your bowels in an uproar” (don’t get excited) and “don’t get your panties (knickers) in a twist (bunch)” (don’t get upset over a trivial matter). Both idioms are very close in meaning, and both involve the lower extremity area (panties and bowels). They also both have the words “don’t get” and “in a”, adding to the confusion. This one is very close to a malaphor I posted in January 2015, “don’t get your panties in a ringer”, written by Todd Christie, brother of Chris Christie, in a Facebook comment, reacting to people commenting on the Governor celebrating the Dallas Cowboys playoff win with Jerry Jones in his box suite. See https://malaphors.com/2015/01/10/dont-get-your-panties-in-a-ringer/. And of course this one is similar to one of my all time favorites posted in 2012 – “don’t get your nose in an uproar”. https://malaphors.com/2012/08/31/dont-get-your-nose-in-an-uproar/
