i am being deadly serious about this...when pants was first used as a derogatory term, the phrase was 'utter pants' which was usually said in a posh 'rik from the young ones' voice.
within a few weeks of it being bantered around, it became well used. whether it being uk-wide being viral or coincidence, that will remain unanswered, i s'pose.

i always thoughtthat stephen fry coined the term pants as a derogatory term ages ago.
as for pants == trousers, that's true where I'm from too, St.Helens, it's definitely regional. A north(west) south thing.
