Why would not wearing pants be bad?


The film made a big deal about his father not wearing pants, but as far as I could tell he was never shown without his pants off. So I don't get it, was this supposed to be some kind of joke, with them telling him he wasn't wearing underwear or something? I saw he had his trousers off but that's a different matter, someone please explain?

Would you wear underwear in public?

reply

No I wouldn't, but why are they calling his trousers pants?

reply

Maybe because nobody under 70 calls them trousers anymore?

reply

I've never heard anyone call trousers pants before. Pants are underwear and to call your trousers those sounds idiotic. And by the way, I'm 26

Are you possibly from England? Here in the states we call "trousers" pants.

reply

In America they call trousers pants

He was wearing boxer not shorts
