- 1褲子（口語、較土的說法）
Britches are trousers. The word is an old, shape of breeches, in use since at least the 1700s in Britain and in British colonies. You will hear it most in American English, especially in country talk, in jokes, and in the set phrase too big for your britches — meaning a person is acting too proud, as if their trousers, and their importance, were larger than they really are. In older English, breeches were trousers that stopped at the knee. Today, britches in casual American speech just means pants. It is not a shop word for smart office clothes. Though actually, we still treat it like trousers: these britches, not this britch. A student who says “I bought new britches” in a London shop will sound like they have out of a story.
組成An altered form of breeches (“trousers”). The -es still behaves like the plural ending on trousers, which is why we say these britches.
