The next question is, how come a pair of stockings is a pair of "hose", not "hoses"?
It's too late for reform. I think it's time for a new language.
Trouser addiction, can you leave the house without a pair?

Why do people park in driveways and drive in parkways? Why is a building that is finished not called a built? Why do we have so many names for pants... er, trousers? There are some things the world may never know.

Yeah... same material as sweatshirts, but in pant/trouser form. Usually with elastic around the very bottom of the legs and elastic and/or draw string around the top at the waist.aderyn_du wrote:Umm... same material as sweatshirts but they're... pants.

I'll help you out, izz...
I just down from the Isle of Skye
I'm no very big but I'm awful shy
All the lassies shout as I walk by,
"Donald, Where's Your Trousers?"
Let the wind blow high and the wind blow low
Through the streets in my kilt I go
All the lassies cry, "Hello!
Donald, where's your trousers?"
I went to a fancy ball
It was slippery in the hall
I was afeared that I may fall
Because I nay had on trousers
I went down to London town
To have a little fun in the underground
All the Ladies turned their heads around, saying,
"Donald, where's your trousers?"
The lassies love me every one
But they must catch me if they can
You canna put the breeks on a highland man, saying,
"Donald, where's your trousers?"
