A Conversation for Trousers versus Pants
Pants and Placenames
Dilapidated Started conversation Dec 1, 1999
While on the subject, let's not forget the intriguingly named village of Pant in Shropshire, England. Not as good as Pantperthog over the border in Wales, though. Perhaps there are Americans who know of places called Trouser, Idaho, or Trousercutepig, Massachusetts.

Whenever we drive through Pant, Shropshire, everyone in the car has to pant. It's a tradition. It helps us get over the shock of suddenly finding ourselves in England.
'Pant' is the Welsh word for a dip, or a hollow. It's still funny, though.
