Pant?


Pant?
Originally uploaded by waɪ.tiː

I don't often go clothes shopping, but a new shopping centre has opened up - Loop 5 and a friend and I thought we'd check it out.

I spotted this label in a boutique. It stood out because it was written in English - bad English.

Pant is a verb, which means to breathe noisily, for examples "The dogs ran round the park, panting heavily."

I can only presume they meant pants - i.e AmE for trousers not BrE for underwear. Or maybe they thought the prices would be so shocking the customers would pant.
