Posted by: Mark Stoneman on: June 30, 2008
Claire Pitt posted a funny piece on her blog yesterday about a variety of ways in which the English in her part of that country use the word pants. Head on over to “I’m going to confuse the pants off you” to learn English as you will never hear this North American speak it.
