well im in blackpoolbut i dont know if its a regional thing, but I have always referred to trousers as pants and underwear as, well, underwear..
It could be due to my parents, or rather it's my brain interpreting things differently than most people because i miss a vital piece of information.
For example, I have always made a sandwhich by buttering one piece of bread only (the other being dry). It is the way I have ALWAYS done it for as long as I can remember.
One day, I was in the kitchen making a sandwhich and I was talking to a friend, he saw me butter only one piece of bread and commented 'why?'. I said 'what do you mean why?'.
He explained that no one butters one piece of bread. I said 'well my parents must do it'.
When I asked my parents, they said that they always buttered both pieces. I asked my grandparents... they did the same.
In fact, there is no one I know, family or otherwise, who butters one piece of bread only.
It is something I have done on my own. I assume that when I was being 'taught' to make a sandwhich (or watched a sandwhiches construction) in my very early years, I got distracted and didnt see the second piece being buttered..
Use this information as you see fit.....
