thank you all again for your help I amm a little puzzled about the answer "pants" I see the connection that a dog pants when he is hot but I cannot see the connection pants and rubbish

[dr b]

pants: "(British, slang) of inferior quality, rubbish."

[Lie-in King]

"Pants" is a slang term for something that is rubbish, useless, etc - as in

"Lie-in King's broadband connection is pants today!"

[perdell]
