I always put the right one on initially, despite the fact that demons always hide in the left.

I'm a bit weird though because I'm right-handed but, whether I'm playing pool or firing controlled bursts from my semi-automatic into a terrified throng, it's always my left hand that hosts the trigger finger.

But, yeah, when it comes to pants I'm strictly orthodox.

The middle one.

It should be a poll.
(NOT YOU NICK, the thread)

It should be a poll.

It is! :confused: :confused: :confused:

It wasn't when I first looked. Weird. And shouldn't this have been DarksidZz's thread?

I have two minions hold my pants up, and several more lift me above them and insert me into my pants.

It wasn't when I first looked. Weird. And shouldn't this have been DarksidZz's thread?
He failed to take the initiative with due alacrity.

His loss. Congratulations on such a riveting choice of topic.
My choice: Neither. Always.

I try and avoid wearing pants whenever possible. I also never take the tube or go spelunking...same principle.

Americans pants are Englishmans trousers, Englishmans underwear is pants,

Try to stay on topic. This thread is pants.

I agree.

Try to stay on topic. This thread is pants.

Which pants?
American English pants or Queen's English pants?
Does the Queen wear pants?

No, Her Maj definitely wears the trousers.

Which pants?
American English pants or Queen's English pants?


Neither. The other pants.

I thought it was quite good.

Neither. The other pants.

Heavy breathing?? :bugeye:

I thought the other Brits would get it.
Some opportunities are too good to pass up...

Heavy breating?? :bugeye:

Sorry man. UK slang:

pants (!) Noun/Adj. Nonsense, rubbish, bad. From the standard British English of pants, meaning underwear; also a variation on 'knickers'. E.g."The first half was pants but I stayed until the end and it was actually a great film." [1990s]

I am so confused look here, from the link fishtail provided.

On the left we have slacks on the right trousers!

And sooo stylish too.

The pleats, maybe?

Duh. And? :confused:

Sorry tangent, back to pants.

The pleats, maybe?
Correct. One has pleats, whereas the other does.

The one wearing the slacks has better taste in shoes.
And pleats never look good! (except Catholic school girl uniforms)

Correct. One has pleats, whereas the other does.

Maybe it's just the picture, but I don't see pleats on the slacks. :shrug:

Watch out for wet blow outs.

Maybe it's just the picture, but I don't see pleats on the slacks. :shrug:
Well.. they're both sort of.. pleaty. Pleat-esque. Maybe I was getting distracted by the fly-front and cuffs.

Correct. One has pleats, whereas the other does.

No, neither of them don't have pleats.

And another Wiki error. Cuffs? On trousers? Turnups.
And why haven't they got an entry on "grandad trousers" proper man's wear, them

Maybe it's just the picture, but I don't see pleats on the slacks. :shrug:

Generally, slacks are made of lighter material and may have an elasticated waist band.

Watch out for wet blow outs.
A good, durable pair of long-johns is essential.

So what about trews? And belly-warmers. Thoughts?

The slacks have creases, not pleats.

No, neither of them don't have pleats.
The trousers have pleats.

So what about light pants without the elastic waistband?
I don't have ANY pants with an elastic waitband.

Scotsmen wear trews when the wind gets to high.

Belly-warmers?

Are those like maternity pants?

You hadda go and spoil it :D .
Neither of them don't have pleats...? Deliberate phrasing to go with redarmy's "One has pleats, whereas the other does."

So what about trews?
Schoolkids and/ or Scotsmen
And belly-warmers. Thoughts?
Grandads

You must be an average size, bye the bye English tailors used to ask a gent which side he dressed, a little wiggle room?

I was wondering how a double-negative slipped past you - I figured you were about to devolve back into that cockney'd thing you do. :shrug:

Grandads
Correct, but 'belly-warmers' are really more strongly associated with big, standard-issue knickers, as seen in eg prison tailoring; old people's shops. So I'm not really sure thay have a place in this 'gentlemen's discussion', and I apologise for bringing it up.

A quite brilliant delineation of the 'crease/pleat' dichotomy. This should be issued to trainee tailors everywhere.

Just don't get started on Oxford Bags.

I wear a belt. :shrug:


I wonder if they are called belts in England - I had a bit of confusion once talking to an Englishwoman about "suspenders" once...


Hint to Americans...

Apparently those are uncomfortable to wear. Apparently.....

I never wear pants.

I never wear pants.

Not even to church?

Apparently those are uncomfortable to wear. Apparently.....

Not really - they are not nearly as uncomfortable as thongs - but we won't get into details.

What kind of pants do you never wear?

Me at the beach last weekend. Eye-catching and comfortable but a
bit of a sand-trap. I did get quite a lot of admiring stares though.

And the fanny is the front bit.

And the fanny is the front bit.

I learned that one in another very confusing conversation with an Australian.

There is a strip bar on the way to my brother's house named C. R. Fannies - it makes me laugh every time I see the billboard.

I once read a book , with a sentence, he smacked her fanny, i thought how kinky, odd, no this must be a misprint.

Apparently those are uncomfortable to wear. Apparently.....

peace.

:eek:

Our Nick? Surely not!!!

It is internet slang for "that would be very amusing to see, please post a picture. Thank you".

or
"Show me your balls?" (we can't say that though because draqon will get the wrong impression and sock redarmy)

back to the OPs question, it depends witch side of the bed i get up, and where i have chucked my bottom covers, i have been known to put them on
backwards, most confusing when one needs the loo.

ohhhh, see im not up to date on the slang the kids of today use.


peace.

Hehe. Did you just call him crwltops?

Bit harsh. He'll have you for that.
