Trousers

Trousers (pants in North America) are an item of clothing worn from the waist to the ankles, covering both legs separately (rather than with cloth extending across both legs as in robes, skirts, and dresses).

In the UK the word "pants" generally means underwear and not trousers.Shorts are similar to trousers, but with legs that come down only to around the area of the knee, higher or lower depending on the style of the garment. To distinguish them from shorts, trousers may be called "long trousers" in certain contexts such as school uniform, where tailored shorts may be called "short trousers", especially in the UK.

In most of the Western world, trousers have been worn since ancient times and throughout the Medieval period, becoming the most common form of lower-body clothing for adult males in the modern world, although shorts are also widely worn, and kilts and other garments may be worn in various regions and cultures. Breeches were worn instead of trousers in early modern Europe by some men in higher classes of society. Since the mid-20th century, trousers have increasingly been worn by women as well. Jeans, made of denim, are a form of trousers for casual wear, now widely worn all over the world by both sexes. Shorts are often preferred in hot weather or for some sports and also often by children and teenagers. Trousers are worn on the hips or waist and may be held up by their own fastenings, a belt or suspenders (braces). Leggings are form-fitting trousers, of a clingy material, often knitted cotton and spandex (elastane).

Pagoda (coin)

Pagoda was a unit of currency, a coin made of gold or half gold minted by Indian dynasties as well as the British, the French and the Dutch. It was subdivided into 42 fanams.

The pagoda was issued by various dynasties in medieval southern India, including the Kadambas of Hangal, the Kadambas of Goa, and the Vijaynagar Empire. There were two types of pagodas coined by foreign traders. The most valuable was the Star pagoda, worth approximately 8 shillings, equivalent to £6 in 2016, issued by the East India Company at Madras. The second was the Porto Novo pagoda, issued by the Dutch at Tuticorin and also by the Nawabs of Arcot, and worth about 25% less than the Star pagoda. The French struck local Gold “Pagodas” and silver “Fanams” under contract by the nawabs. The silver coins of the French were called “Fanon” which were equivalent to the local “Fanam” and could be exchanged for 1 Gold Pagoda at the Exchange Rate of 26 Fanon to one Gold Pagoda.

    There are many alternative terms for the people of Germany. In English the demonym is German. During the early Renaissance, "German" implied that the person spoke German as a native language. Until German unification, people living in what is now Germany were named for the region they lived in: examples are Bavarians and Brandenburgers. Some other terms are humorous or derogatory slang, and used mainly by people from other countries, although they can be used in a self-deprecating way by German people themselves. Other terms are serious or tongue-in-cheek attempts to coin words as alternatives to the ambiguous standard terms.

    English

    Dutch

    Initially, the word Dutch could refer to any Germanic-speaking area, language, or people, derived from the Proto-Germanic þiudiskaz, meaning belonging to or being part of the people. For example:

  • The Chronography and History of the Whole World, Vol. II (1677) mentions the mathematician that "...the Dutch call Leibnitz," adding that Dutch is spoken in the parts of Hungary adjoining to Germany.

    Hun

    by: Postgirobygget

    Ifra vinduet
    Bak gardinen
    Jeg kan se hvordan hun har det
    Hun kler av seg mens jeg koser meg
    med vinen
    Hun sminker seg på badet
    Kan se hvordan hun har det
    mens jeg spiser sjokolade
    Har nettopp flytta hit
    Nettopp oppdaget
    Damen som bor rett ovenfor meg
    Svært fin å se til - Jeg kan se så lenge jeg vil
    Koser meg med vinen
    Tenk en tur på byen - Bare jeg og henne
    Noe så spennende
    Si meg hva skal du ha på deg
    Vil du vite hva jeg har på meg
    Jeg følger deg gjerne
    Så trekker hun for gardinene
    Kler på seg og går ut men
    Si meg hvor skal du hen
    Hvor skal du i de klærne
    Jeg følger etter på den andre siden av gaten
    Hun er på vei ned mot sentrum
    Hun ser seg snart rundt og stanser
    Jeg kan se hvordan hun har det
    Er det noe hun venter på
    Det demrer sakte for meg nå
    Da stopper det en bil og hun
    Lener seg inn igjennom vinduet
    Og setter seg inn før de kjører avgårde
    Det siste jeg ser er bremselysene
    Jeg håper han er snill
    Hun har gått seg vill
    Hun har bare gått seg vill
    Hun lente seg inn igjennom vinduet
    Og satte seg inn før de kjørte avgårde
    Det siste jeg så var bremselysene
    Jeg håper han er snill
    Hun har gått seg vill
    Hun har bare gått seg vill
