Look at Mr. Critter, just peeking out from someone’s jeans. Prolly hiding out from a Very Large Kitteh!
Another Prosh Pixdaus Production from Meow Meow.
did you know jeans is plural the way trousers is because jean is a word and refers to the fabric and they’re blue jeans because they’re blue jean trousers which are trousers made of jean that is blue?
Okay, this became a burning question, and I had time to kill, so I did some research and…
‘According to Michael Quinoin at World Wide Words, pants are a pair because, “before the days of modern tailoring, such garments, whether underwear or outerwear, were indeed made in two parts, one for each leg. The pieces were put on each leg separately and then wrapped and tied or belted at the waist (just like cowboys’ chaps). The plural usage persisted out of habit even after the garments had become physically one piece.”‘ http://walkinthewords.blogspot.com/2009/05/phrase-etymology-pair-of-pants.html

So we all put our pants on one trouser at a time?

Cute-cut jeans are very flattering.
That ear looks so delish.
That is the most adorable thing I’ve seen poking out of a pair of jeans in a while.
Shame on me, my mind is NOT in the right place while reading your comment, S to C.
You’re not the only one with an…inventive mind, kibblenibble.
Well, I WASN’T thinking that way but now I’m wondering if you mean up and down?
