  • I dislike the term "de-pantsing"

    You wouldn't say that you're "pantsing" yourself whilst donning pantaloons, so it doesn't make any sense to say that you've been "de-pantsed" when somebody sneaks up behind you and strips you of your dignity. I prefer the term "de-trouserified."

    What about "bare-ass-ified"?

          Well, you could assume that to be the case unless proven wrong

            I dunno, the line about "spiritual depantsing" by Apu is pretty solid.

                a pair of glasses
                a pair of briefs
                etc etc etc

                  They're only singular on the top. On the bottom, they're plural.

                    A pair of leggings? Sounds kind of gay to me.

                      The way I heard it is not "depantsing" but "pantsing" is pulling their pants down.


                      And since pants is automatically plural (it has an s on the end) it seems pair is appropriate. Same with glasses. One glass, a pair of glasses. One pant, a pair of pants.

                          Or chapping, if the victim happens to be a cowboy.

                            "Dropping trou" is always a good substitute as well.

                              There are two pieces of glass in glasses.
