OK, so who calls trousers "pants"?

[displayuntiltwelfthnight]

Quick poll, just a-wondering who calls trousers "pants"?
To me, pants are what some might call knickers and trousers are trousers.
I'm northern btw in case anyone says it's just a northern thing!

Pants are the undergarments that I wished had been more glamorous when I had a car accident and had to have my clothing cut off

Im in the north west and trousers are pants, underwear are knickers.

those crazy upside down kiwi's

Starexpat, yeah it probably is a more southern or just 'country' type thing, more common in the older generation I'd say. My mom has a bit of country twang about her, even though she's been living in larger cities for the majority of her life! Fanny was never something I'd say either

Yanknchristmascrackers - lol I just read your profile. I'm from the northeast and always say "near Canada", too. In fact, where I grew up is only a 1 hr. 15 min drive to the Quebec... so I often say "I'm practically Canadian" if I'm in an environment where other Americans are acting loud and ridiculous or in a place or situation where Americans aren't really liked so much

god this is a pet hate of mine! pants are knickers!! not fucking trousers! trousers are trousers! i can even get past if someone calls trousers troos, or strides, or even...slacks... but i hate hate hate the word pants for trousers!

there....got it off my chest!

My dh says pants (for trousers) and he is from Lancashire. It really irritates me, probably b/c it's a turn of phrase used by my MIL .

Vicar you may want to really avoid going to America... if you do, just avoid shopping
