Air pants (n.) - updated
What a Scotsman wears under his
kilt.
May also be used as a polite way of pointing out
to strangers that their private parts are showing due to lack of underwear,
flies being done, etc. as in ‘I can see your air
pants’.
Air pants are also
rumoured to have been the original subject of the David Bowie song
Let's
Dance, but the original lyric of ‘Put on
your air pants and dance the blues’ was thought to have been too
risqué and so was changed at the last minute to ‘red
shoes’.
