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

Knickers are females underwear
Trousers are trousers...

It is just fake french though 😂🇫🇷
