The word "bukta", as used in Guyana, is applied only to male underwear and no distinction is apprently made betwwen various types of such underwear in that regard. The most common synonym is "shorts", again, a term applied only to male undergarments. The term "short pants" is used to refer to outer garments. Boxer shorts are referred to as "long foot shorts".The work "bukta" appears to derive from the brand name of a UK clothing firm founded by Edward Buck and Sons in 1879. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bukta . The company is known for its athletic wear. Most Guyanese are unaware of the origin of the word.
