"They are your underware"

I saw this line in the movie Friends. There was only one piece of underware, but they kept referring to that underware as they. I am confused by this. Can anyone help me with this? Thanks.

The word is spelt 'underwear'. Like 'pants', 'jeans', 'shorts' and 'trousers', 'underwear' is plural when it refers to a legged undergarment.
