I think we need to embrace some previously established, but currently non-exercised terminology.
1. Trousers. I need to wash my trousers. You never hear that in the USA. Why not? Its a great word. Trousers. Not pants. Pants are stupid.
2. Court. As in, "Hello, agreeable young lady. You are most fair in your countenance and I wish nothing more than to court thee." But we don't hear that. Its a shame. In today's society it is hard to define any relationship, unless you are married. Even then, how many married couples do we hear about that both husband and wife cheat religiously and openly on each other? But back to the point...if you are interested in somebody you could be:
We need to embrace these terms because, well, I said so.

Up with trousers, the word pants, as the English would say, is, well, pants....
Exactly! its very confusing for us here in the UK to hear pants being talked about so carelessly - i always have to make a mental note to translate "pants" to "TROUSERS"
Can you imagine what that kind of confusion can lead to??
