Is New Zealand pants?......... or is it trousers?

[PorkChop]

Brits say trousers. Yanks say pants. What do Kiwis say?

[JandM]

Both! As you can see here. http://www.hallensteins.com/category...ens-Pants?i=11

Then of course, there's togs. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h-Lx2ihpGbc

hehe Pants my son aged 7 newly arrived from uk was asked in class to remove his pants for sport, he got all upset and cried thinking the teacher meant underpants!

[Hagabel]

Both I think. Try jandals, togs and a few others.

And the sweetest thing is to see the 18 year old "schoolboys" on their way to school on a bus on a cold wet day inWelly.

Okay - for those of us not there and using our imaginations, explain, please?!

[PorkChop]

Thanks all. Would your average Yank know what I meant if I talked about trousers?
