YSaC, Vol. 262 redux

Dan and I have an argument about pants. Namely, that I think there are things that don’t qualify as pants. Like sweatpants. Dan quite rightly points out that they have “pants” right in the title. I argue that my definition of “pants” means I shouldn’t feel embarrassed to wear them to the supermarket. He tells me I’m a looney. That’s pretty much the whole argument, right there.

Anyway, pants are a plurale tantum, unlike today’s redux, which is a singulare tantum. And no, I wouldn’t wear those to the supermarket. (Well, okay, maybe I would, but under a pair of pants.)
