In how much of the world is No Pants Day celebrated? We Brits have never heard of such a thing, aside from the different meaning it would have over here. -- Smjg 16:12, 10 May 2005 (UTC)

Comment copied from VfD page:

No Pants Day is notable both in the United States and abroad (I heard it mentioned here in Perth, Australia the other day). Cedars 09:59, 16 May 2005 (UTC)

Maybe so. But it certainly isn't notable in all of the world, though I can imagine a few odd communities celebrating in a number of places. In any case, not everywhere has a climate in which many people would contemplate it. And as for the linguistic issue, in how many countries in which "pants" means underwear is it celebrated to any real extent, and do they do this by going without underwear or call it "No Trousers Day" instead? Google gives a few hits for "No Trousers Day", which mostly seem to be on-the-spot translations of the American-originated festival into British English rather than evidence of any pre-heard-of celebrations in such places. -- Smjg 11:04, 16 May 2005 (UTC)

Regardless it is an actual event that takes place in certain parts of the world. I myself have celebrated it.

I'm sure those from other countries would understand that it does mean no pants of trousers if you will rather then no underwear. 'No Pants Day' is supposed to be a bit of fun. The idea is to not take the world so seriously.

[edit] 2007

I notice that all of this is hopelessly out of date for the official 2007 event. But since their own site is out of date, saying that it's May 5th 2006, I guess there's not much to complain about here. Anyone know who dropped the ball on this?theanphibian 05:12, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

Never mind, they've fixed it now theanphibian 19:54, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
