slang definition?

Can anyone explain панти to me? I know that you can колотить, гонять, собрать, and заценить панти, but I cannot for the life of me figure out what this is supposed to mean. It sounds like salary sometimes, and sometimes like ego, but I'm just baffled. (I've been told that this word is not vulgar, so I apologize if anyone is offended). This may only be regional slang from Ukraine, but all the same, I'd like to know.

PPS: панти(ukr)=понты(rus). Actually in Ukrainian it should be written as 'понти', but the variant with 'A' is a type of common mistake as people write it the way they speak it :)
