Turn ups? I love them fried in butter. Funny to see how the terms differ from shore to shore.

The term trouser disappeared over hear with the trolley cars. Funny thing though, reflecting on the changes. When I was a little boy, it was a rite of passage when you got your first long pants (trousers to you.) Little boys wore short pants, knobby, skinned knees proudly displayed. Long pants meant you were a big boy.
