manda is a young lady with decided tastes. She likes khaki but not brown; she likes rendezvous but not meetings; she likes mousses but not jellies. Does she like jodhpurs or riding pants and why?

Jodhpurs - all words derived from languages other than English

Or... jodhpurs because she prefers words with an even number of vowels in...

I think you are right, Danny. 
However, there is the German "braun" or French "brune" - the origins of "brown" - and "gelée" for "jelly" and "reiten" for "riding"...

Well, if you're going to be like that, *every* word in English is derived from some other language 
Still, I know what I meant (I just hope Greebo does 
)
