User:Krimpet/Pants in popular culture
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pants, also known as trousers, are an item of clothing worn on the lower part of the body, covering both legs separately (rather than with cloth stretching across both as in skirts and dresses). As a mainstay of popular culture, pants have been commemorated and parodied in numerous prominent works.
