Sounds about right! You must have a fairly good dictionary of modern British slang, for my Consise Oxford Dictionary doesn't list this meaning for `pants', but I do know that it means `grossly bad'. We also have the slang word `grotty', with similar meaning, and presumably from the same Germanic root; in a `groff' context, the connotation is somewhat unfortunate :-) Cheers, Keith. _______________________________________________ Groff mailing list Groff@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/groff
