Maybe they don't know this one... From Wiki; Similarly, in AmE the word pants is the common word for the BrE trousers, while the majority of BrE speakers would understand pants to mean underwear. Many dialects in the North of England agree with the AmE usage and use pants to refer to trousers; this is often incorrectly considered an Americanism by people from elsewhere in Britain. The word pants is a shortening of the archaic pantaloons, which shares the same source as the French for trousers, pantalon. AmE - American English BrE - English English |

My phone has 108 numbers. 34 are unlabeled, 22 are labeled but i still don't know who they are, 12 i do know but are in there so i know not to answer if they call, 15 are family members i haven't seen in years, 7 are girls who flatly refuse to sleep with me but if i persevere long enough they might crack, 8 are university friends who i see daily anyway. 7 are friends i see reasonably often, leaving three numbers i actually dial regularly, one is my mother, the others are my housemates whenever they've locked me out.. Life on earth is the global equivalent of not storing things in the fridge. |

Hate to burst your bubble, but Indian English speakers outweigh all other English speakers put together. So.... Given that over 50% of Americans are overweight, and most (east) Indians aren't, we just might out weigh them! . Hello, from Albany, CA!... |

Maybe they don't know this one... I'm a northerner and to me, pants=trousers. Although I might call them pantaloons from now on because I like the word so much :) Member of the People Encouraging Niceness In Society club. |
