Confusingly, in the north of england and in scotland, pants means trousers, just like in the US.
- laumars 13y agoNot in any areas of the north I've lived / stayed in. the only people in England who call pants 'underpants' and trousers as 'pants' are those who watch excessive amounts of US TV shows.
- jwdunne 13y agoI'm from Salford and use pants/trousers interchangeably, have done since I was young. Perhaps this is also due to watching films too, which are mostly from the US over here. I haven't watched that many US programmes in my life time. I don't watch much TV at all really! As a side note, I saw undies in the original too!
- popopje 13y agonot in my experience of scotland, though i do know geordies and irish who say pants.
- stordoff 13y agoNever heard that in Yorkshire. Possibly a more localised thing?
