I swear, one of these days I will get over the differences between British and American English. I will stop getting yelled at. Stop asking questions. And stop posting about those conversations. That day, however, has not yet arrived.
(Talking about the pants/trouser differences.)
Elle: So what do you call our pants then?
Moi: Underpants? We just call them as they are- boxers, briefs, whatever...? So what do you say when you pants someone then? Do you trouser them? That doesn't sound right.
Everyone: Pants someone? You actually pants- ?
Moi: You pull their trousers down. What, you guys don't do that here?
Everyone: You do? What is this?
Moi: I mean I've never done it myself, but people pants people in the States... you've really never pantsed anyone?
PS. This entry is dedicated to Ellie. No reason. Just 'cause.
