Take for example PANTS. It can mean underpants (or knickers) or trousers here. 
I'm such a geek about words. At my work we have access to the full and complete Oxford English Dictionary online (that's the one that takes up about 24 volumes in "hard copy"). I'm always looking stuff up on it.  |
Ohhh, having access to something like that could be very addictive! BTW, my grandma call underwear pants so I'd fit right in down there.
