Cecil, my boy, Connotationally, in this case your time and tide are way awry: In those days, pants as you behold them were a rarity exclusive domain of Edwinas & their snobish ilk. Panties, pretty pantaloonish, were "the pants" of mine & your grandfather's fantasies, not to be beheld, so often Eric-wise, arround ankles but rather flying Union-Jackish from clothes' lines in the windows of Chanan-, Hamal-, Dabul- & myriad other waddis of Boambay & the "angons" of our villages. Mario has imortalized quite a few for posterity that are unaware of them in the age of string-flimsies.
