Last summer, we wanted to bring back the word rad. Now, we have a new funny British phrase to spread. My aunt Janey kept saying that the rainy weather in England was “pants,” as in not good. Don’t you just love that? :)

I absolutely love this expression and wish it would catch on!!

Never stopped using rad, but I’m glad to hear that so many others still use it as I thought that it marked me as a hopelessly lost-in-time Californian.
Pants is excellent, I’m definitely going to wend it into conversation!
I tend to stick to “thats rubbish” more that “thats pants” but hey ho its all good : )
love it. I’m totally going to say that now. (although I first thought it was going to mean good, not bad – sort of like ‘the cat’s pajamas’…)
Oh yes, and rad never went out of fashion as far as I am concerned. Big word in Melbourne / Victoria too.
Rad site BTW.
The total opposite of ‘ants pants’.
It;s funny coincidence because we end a lot of descriptors for people with -pants, for example my daughter is often called Sienna-pants. Husband sexy-pants. You get the idea….
We use “pants” in Australia too… I think it is because pants is the opposite of tops.
love it !
haha, quite catchy.
I ALWAYS wear ‘pants’ but I’m a ‘good’ person…ha ha. That saying is so great. Now I get to start using.
Love it! Thanks.
Ha ha! Never heard “pants” before!! Love it! I am still using rad..
I LOVE it.
I’ve lived in England for a bit and dated a couple English boys, so I’ve long been familiar with the term “pants”. Just discovered your delightful blog and am now relieved that I can once again get my daily fix. It was pants not having a fresh cup of jo to read every morning!
thanks!
this ranks right up there with one of my favorite words: “whingeing”(UK,NZ,Australia). as in “quit your whingeing!”(whining)
jolly good to have you back, it was bloody awful without you. cheers … cindy
awesome. i vow to use it at least four times today. nine tomorrow. people will hate me and think i’m pants. no? that doesn’t work?
my fave is to say ‘that’s brill’ instead of brilliant (another term used much more by those fabulous brits). i’ve never heard the ‘pants’ term – i LOVE it!
Richie – I was just going to comment about Jonsey’s show. I also thought mustard was good and pants was bad.
wow i love that! every time i hear a brit accent i always walk away with one!
i love this! i said it to my coworker this afternoon and she laughed and thought it was great. am going to try and spread it around my office!
I might just have to use the phrase “pants” around where I live! Your blog is totally not pants….it’s pretty rad! :-D
our trip back yesterday was truly pants. but we made it! i miss jo and alex.
it was pants without you, joanna. glad you’re back; i missed little posts like this. :)
hee hee. i love it. it reminds me of “fetch” from Mean Girls.
“Give it up, Gretchen. “Fetch” is never going to happen!”
Let’s hope “pants” totally happens. :)
Jonsey from the Sex Pistols has a local radio station here in LA.
He has guests on his show rate new songs as:
“Pants or Mustard”
for some reason I thought Pants was the good one though and Mustard was bad. humm now I don’t remember.
i agree with dash!
i don’t think rad ever went out…and your blog is rad!
as a brit i must just check you know we mean underpants don’t you?
I am hoping that picture does not show your current bad weather?! Pants is definitely a new vocab- will have to try it out and see if it catches on in the Midwest!
does it come from some sketchy rhyming slang?? I love that stuff!
it looks like pants weather here in ny too. and man, i almost used the word rad the other day and then I checked myself. “rad” is so much better than “awesome”.
I find it intensely amusing when Americans are so fascinated by the things that we English take for granted. Such as tea rooms, red phoneboxes and words like ‘pants’
:)
your blog makes my day
we use pants all the time over here…i love it because it seems so non-pejorative, right?!
SO glad you’re back…
love it, too. really rad, not at all pants!
I don’t think “rad” ever went out.
love your blog.;)
it’s rad.
Ooh! Love that phrase! I’ll have to try to work it into my vocab.
Last year I wanted to start using “All right”, thanks to Harry Potter and Lily Allen.
And yes, we can totally be blogging friends. Anyone is an instant friend who realizes that Ben Afflek has a huge head!
