Thread Name: BS: What do you call those blue trousers?
Subject: RE: BS: What do you call those blue trousers?

I'm in the Philadelphia PA area, and we say "jeans" when referring to those denim pants. Sometimes the blue ones are "blue jeans"; the black ones are never "black jeans".

However, my parents (born in the 19-teens) said "dungarees".
