We should not only protest the strange names for colors, we should NEVER ever order pants from a place that calls them "a pant."

"This lovely tweed pant goes from casual to dressy with just a few additions..."

Pant + pretentious = pantentious!

THIS is a pant:

(and cute)

And I will refuse to buy from a shop that calls trousers "pants".
No. Pants (in the country) and knickers, briefs, smalls, lingerie.

If I walk out of my house in just my pants you'll know about it.

Trousers always just makes me think of "trouser snake."

What is trousing? What is someone looking for when they trouse?

"Where are you going, honey?"

"Oh, thought I'd do a little shopping, some banking, maybe some trousing."

"Well, you better wear your trousers, just in case."

And, like pant, should it be trouser or trousers?

Sundae · 02-21-2011, 01:50 PM

Trousers. Like pants and scissors, they come in pairs.

Shawnee123 · 02-21-2011, 02:37 PM

But what is trouse?

I googled it and got this:

World English Dictionary
trouse (traʊz)

— pl n
( Brit ) close-fitting breeches worn in Ireland

[from Irish and Scot Gaelic triubhas : compare trews ]

Now we're throwing BREECHES into the pile? Oy.

I've heard of them there britches, though.

In the south, they call all pants "Coke."

Breeches?
We close up those with our English dead.

Not to be confused with dykes, which are satisfied by a finger.

My friend's a Web trouser.

He goes on porn sites and pants.

Shawnee123 · 02-21-2011, 02:51 PM

You mean your friend zippy?

Sundae · 02-21-2011, 02:52 PM

Buttons are better.
I try to rub mine occasionally to remind me.

Yeah, the addition of another pant would give you a pair of pants which, when worn, would constitute being dressed, hence dressy.
half dressed = casual.

I have a friend who works for a big clothing catalog house, he 'splained me.

Shawnee123 · 02-21-2011, 04:48 PM

I guess if you work at IHOP you would only need the pant.

Sundae · 02-21-2011, 05:01 PM

And at Hooters you'd would only get the pant.

footfootfoot · 02-21-2011, 06:46 PM

and many panters...

Panting punters?

Back onto topic... I painted my living room vanilla bean and it came out butter yellow. Just so you know. I thought it would be more of a beige or tan.
