TBHI never used the term pants to refer to anything.
Trousers were kex, underwear was gruds, jeans were jeans.
Pants came into the vocabulary as a derogatory term about the same time as the desperatly unfunny trev and simon made the 'swing your pants' song.
It must be Sunday. Here I am, pissed as a pissed thing parping on about pants...

Is all this confusiongeographic?
I'm on the northern edge of the East Midlands, which may explain the webbed fingers, if not the pants/{kex|kecks}/gruds disparity
