anxiety over gusset support
According to the Sun newspaper, “TELLY’S toughest interrogator, Jeremy Paxman, has never been afraid to get to the bottom of the really big issues. [...]“
And that’s what his “big issue” seems to be nowadays: “[...] according to Paxman — or Pantsman as he may now be know — when it comes to the business of buying a good pair of underpants, it isn’t style that matters but good old-fashioned gusset support.
He said: ‘Like large numbers of men in this country I have always bought my socks and pants at Marks & Sparks. I’ve noticed something very troubling has happened. There’s no other way to put this — their pants no longer provide adequate support. When I’ve discussed this with friends and acquaintances it has revealed widespread gusset anxiety.’

curriculum vitae: born April 5, 1947 in
Not that I don’t think a newspaper like The Sun would jump to present a subject like this, but what really beats me is the even The Daily Telegraph, the self-styled “number 1 quality newspaper” of Britain has this, too.
