Comment on Are they still underpants if you aren't wearing pants?

I suggest establishing a formal hierarchy of *-pants, with individual terms to distinguish shape, purpose and colour in conjunction with effective and/or absolute layer. And you should be the one to do it, because I don’t have time for that.

Layer-0 pants are the ones touching your arse.
Layer-1 pants cover Layer-0 (tights, stockings, trousers). Layer-2 pants (optional) cover Layer-1 (shorts over tights, trousers, etc…)

Simple

With diagrams explaining, in detail, the purpose and function of each layer. By Monday, or you’re fired.
