- Whenever I see Yettie's sig, I think to myself (and to anyone who happens to be reading my mind at the time), "Now there's a man who knows his trousers." 128.227.58.108 22:58, 26 August 2008 (UTC)
- What I don't get is, is it a pair of trousers in the traditional sense (as one might speak of a pair of PANTS), or is it a pair of pair of trousers? --Pleb SYNDROME CUN medicate (butt poop!!!!) 01:27, 3 September 2008 (UTC)

- Trousers trace their ancestry to the individual hose worn by men in the 15th century. The hose were easy to make and fastened to a doublet at the top with ties called "points", but as time went by, the two hose were joined, first in the back then across the front, but still leaving a large opening for sanitary functions. Originally, doublets came almost to the knees, effectively covering the private parts, but as fashions changed and doublets became shorter, it became necessary for men to cover their genitals with a codpiece. The plural of trousers would then therefore be an "MrN". Obviously... MrN 01:48, Sep 3
