If I want a pair that lasts longer than a year I can expect to pay 80€+ here
For underwear...?
do you call your underwear "pants"?
Yes that what Mr blott was getting at I think. Pants are underwear in the UK
Ahhh gotcha. Interesting.
Idk if they do but the whole UK does
So if you say "pants" people in the UK think first of underwear? I know they use trousers as well but I thought pants is still predominantly a word for jeans etc.
Some people up north do I believe, I had a mate in uni from Manchester who would use pants for trousers but the majority think underwear.
Generally it's kind of a childish term for underwear, and usually you'd hear people referring to boxers/briefs/bra/etc.
I see, thanks for that insight!
