Pantsu
Pantsu = Panties, as in the female underwear.
Typically in the tag-sense, it means the viewing material will be serving up a fair share of pantyshots either innocently or for the sake of fanservice. Another proverbial bringing up of pantsu, would be in the case of the anime/manga Chobits, where it may have almost been made into a overly-cute catchphrase at one point or another.
