Local slang. Keeps things interesting
Don't say pants, we say something is shite. Keeps it accurate.
My parents were scousers so that's a complete other language of slang so I'm a wee bit used to it but "pants" I just don't get it....
So.... pants is derived from ... Shitty pants? ??
Currently having my piss boiled by passive-aggressive drivers - for example the medium to slow speed lane creepers who know they are in the wrong lane and simply adjust their driving line rather than use their indicator and 'ask politely'... Or the outside lane hoggers sitting well below the posted limit with traffic moving much faster, and farther away, in front, plenty space in the other 2 or even 3 lanes for them... Who proceed to accelerate *just* fast enough to block the gap to the next car in the middle lane in order to prevent an undertake (aggressive or otherwise)... then slow back down again immediately. I wasn't trying to undertake but two others behind me did...
Oh, and people (generally the same drivers hogging the outside lane) who float between 65 & 75mph, apparently due to the ever changing nature of their reality... At least that's the only reason I can think of that would explain their inability to even stay a couple of mph either side of a speed for more than about 23 seconds. Assholes :x

linky: "Pants" has been an all-purpose term of disapproval among young people in the UK during the middle to late nineties. It first turned up in print in 1994, in pieces that indicate it was popularised by DJs on the BBC’s radio pop channel, Radio 1, most probably by Simon Mayo, though the finger is often pointed at Zoë Ball. ... But there’s evidence that the word in this sense is somewhat older, and that it comes from student slang. Graham Diamond, of the Oxford English Dictionary, states that he came across it at university about two years earlier, and actually used it in slogans on posters advertising bands around January 1993.
