What does PANTS mean in Scrabble?
noun
An outer garment covering the body from the waist to the ankles, with a separate section for each leg; called trousers in British English, though British informal use of pants usually means underwear instead.
American English uses pants for the everyday outer garment that British speakers call trousers, while in Britain the same word usually means underwear worn beneath other clothes, a difference that regularly confuses travellers between the two countries. Like scissors or trousers, pants is a plural in form because the garment has two matching leg sections, so people always speak of a pair of pants rather than one pants. The word can also serve informally as an adjective meaning poor or disappointing, as in the film was pants.
