A 'pants' day just means a bad day. Anything that is bad can be described as pants. As in, "that third-down call was pants", or just "well that was pants".
haha as opposed to passive verb -"getting pantsed"- which unfortunately happens to the jets quite often....:*(
haha we have UKJets to thank for it, REVISion. He is basically holding down the fort for all Jets fans in Europe.....u know, planting the Gang Green Flag to declare that the UK is officially "Jets Country"!
oh yeah, I forgot about KO B, good point LAJet! haha I like to imagine that if EITHER K'OB or UKJet run into anyone in the UK who is sporting another team's colours, they immediately lay down the law, and inform them that the UK IS JETS COUNTRY, so they either have to start pulling for the Jets or get the hell out of the UK.
Well then, as soon as the weather warms up a bit more, I shall endeavor to make every day a good day by eschewing the wearing of pants. I don't know what will be worse though, the frightened screams of women and children or the lack of understanding by the law enforcement community.
Hmm, I believe that would actually be an active verb as it is based upon the physical act of "getting depantsed." It appears to be the latest illustration of the decline of the English language, commonly seen in "I could care less."
Ralebird, I like you so I don't want to get into a Gang Green Message board beef with you, but BOTH forms are acceptable. I remember the famous cheers episode guest starting BOTH Kevin McHale and Wade Boggs, and the verb "pantsed" was used several times as in "We just pantsed the Great Wade Boggs!." This was circa 1988, and as we ALL know, EVERYTHING INCLUDING THE ENGLISH LANGAUGE reached it's zenith during the 1980's. So "pantsed" is indeed a proper passive verb, per both Glen Charles and the uber-educated and talented writers of "Cheers", one of television's greatest sitcoms, but also per merriam webster AND the Oxford Dictionary. Having said all of that, you ARE CORRECT regarding the constant confusion between "I couldn't care less" or "I could care less." ON that point, you are correct, so we agree.
LOL Well-done bicketybam, Bravo! to quote the great Mike Tyson, I believe it is now time for this thread to "fade into Bolivian."
The correct use, as my old nan used to say when explaining something very obvious, "It's as plain as the balls on a dog............" As in "It's as plain as the balls on a dog that The Jets recent draft history is shocking. We trust that the new GM will be The Dog's Bollocks and does a better job. With any luck Jacksonville's front office is pants and passes on Lawrence" That covers it......
When I was a kid 'getting pantsed' was a phrase used to describe having somebody suddenly pull your pants down in a public setting. It was designed for the victim's reaction, which generally ranged from drop and cover to bend over and quickly try to get them back up again. For awhile there when the act was in favor along about 1975 I wore a belt and suspenders to school. It had a short half-life though as getting suspended from school was likely to get the offender a close encounter with a different end of the belt.
