Is a bit of a thread about a thread...

But pants...

Pants are underwear in my world (and the kids)

But my dh (not american) speaks of them as if they are outerwear...

Yanbu - pants = underpants / underwear

Yabu - pants = trousers / outerwear

I grew up in the South where pants are underwear, then moved to the North where pants are trousers. Was rather confused at first.

I'm confused too. I live in the North and nobody I know calls trousers pants?

Pretty interchangeable now. I cannot abide panties so it is kinckers and trousers / pants here
