Non-sequitars

[Lucifer_Carroll]

Okay, personally the level of quasi-depressing threads and the overall seriousness is starting to get to me a little and so, I'd like to start a thread completely and utterly devoted to the pursuit of frivilous nonsense. Thus, without further ado:

Pants, what's with them? Why do they always seem to contain killer sheep and is denim the anti-christ?

 

[wishfulthinking]

Pants, what's with them?

Are we talking the UK version, as in trousers, or normal speak as in jocks and panties? Because you don't know how many times I've said 'pants' both as a swear word or when referring to trousers, and get this shocked look from the british.

I agree, sounds old-fashioned. My grandmother still calls them slacks and she call jeans Dungarees. (spelled right?)

My mom says Dungarees, I hate that, it sounds like pants for kangaroos.

Was your grandmother in the Navy, by chance? That's what denim work clothes are called...you know, the uniform they're not supposed to wear in public view offbase?

Gee, when I was a girl we called 'em bluejeans and only wore them to play outdoors (never to school, when visiting family, or any public place). Our Ked play shoes we called tennies, for tennis shoes, though no one in my family ever played tennis. We also had 'dress' shoes and 'school' shoes.

The etymology of "pants" is interesting; the word was originally a disparagement:


pantaloons - 1661, "kind of tights" (originally a Fr. fashion and execrated as such by late 17c. Eng. writers), associated with Pantaloun (1590), silly old man character in It. comedy who wore tight trousers over his skinny legs, from It. Pantalone, originally San Pantaleone, Christian martyr, a popular saint in Venice (Pantaleone in the comedies represents the Venetian). The name is of Gk. origin and means "all-compassionate." Applied to tight long trousers (replacing knee-breeches) by 1798; pants is a shortened form first recorded 1840.
