I think trousers is such a good word.

Trousers only come in the plural. You can't have one trouser. A complete, single unit is called a pair, and two units of trousers are two pairs, but only one leg of a pair is not a trouser..

Trousers is also such a good word to say in a silly voice. It's rich vowel sounds encourage verbal play and the affectation of bad accents. It's a naturally humerous word: trousers are inately funny. Also, trousers is a far superiour word than pants. Say them with me...

Pants!

Trousers!
