Cuz apparently I gotta break this down for you dense motherfuckers- I'm trans feminine nonbinary. My pronouns are they/them.

Well, yes, but everyone knows that.
What about the lingerie? Was that named after him?

:p
The teddy was invented in 1910, but wasn't actually called a "teddy" until 1924. The theory that it has something to do with teddy bears (and thus indirectly with Theodore Roosevelt) has been advanced many times (even during the period), but never proven.

Originally they were called "camiknickers", so giving them some other name seems like a fairly obvious idea.

I know I'd refrain from shooting a girl if she was wearing one (the lingerie or the bear doll).

A portmanteau of camisole and knickers (for the US audience: panties), so it's not that weird.

Agreed. Sometimes when you mash two words together, the result is elegant. Other times, it's hilarious or just plain awkward.

I'd count camiknickers in the last group.
