Skirts on ladies...

[Aphex_Twin]

Think about it, which phrase sounds more correct:

"Nice bit of skirt that"

"Nice bit of trouser that"

I rest my case.

An additional argument would arise self-evidently from the phrase:
"He is a total pervert, all he does is chase trousers all day long"... Which might direct to the wrong conclusion

I hate that! What sort of sadist girl forces herself into a couple jeans so tight she gets a muffin top?

How about "everybody that went to my high school?"

Neither, since they're both in Reject Dental Hygene English.

We call them pants around here.

 

[amadeus]

"Pants?" You eurotrash really make me sick.

What ? Are you saying Seleucus has become European during the night ?!!?!

 

[classical_hero]

Jeans do look very good on women. So do shorts, but pants are not that good on women.

 

[Hitro]

What ? Are you saying Seleucus has become European during the night ?!!?!

Guess he searched for the worst possible way of insulting him and found it...

What? Who the hell calls them trousers?

 

[Hitro]

What? Who the hell calls them trousers?

British Europeans, ironically...

He is European. Polish, in fact. This can explain some things...

 

[Hitro]

He is European. Polish, in fact. This can explain some things...

I thought he was born in America?

If not,

 

[feline_dacat]

British Europeans, ironically...

what about british asians!?

Brits call trousers trousers... unless you're Mise and have played way too much WoW

 

[stormbind]

This thread is quickly turning pants.

 

[Hitro]

what about british asians!?

Oh hell, I was very close to posting a "racial epitaph" in my drunken mind...

So I'll just say, "yes, they too".

 

[Louis XXIV]

Short skirts, short shorts, tight jeans. I'm really not too picky

 

[stormbind]

British Europeans, ironically...

What about other Europeans who learned English in school, rather than from Hollywood?

 

[Hitro]

What about other Europeans who learned English in school, rather than from Hollywood?

They ain't existin', man. They might be, like, flyin' the colors of England at a barbecue, but that's just like driving a truck right into an elevator.

 

[classical_hero]

What? Who the hell calls them trousers?

We also call the trousers.

 

[blindside]

Exactly, Europeans call them trousers. Americans call them pants.
