Pants to me is translated as meaning something is rubbish or useless. So you might say "I'm not reading anything fantasy after reading Tolkien, everything else is just pants." Trousers are 'kecks'.
I'm sending to Mordor: Anti-Cyclonic Depression. There I was this morning hopefully waiting for a glimpse of the partial eclipse, but the Anti-Cyclonic Depression that was the weather today (i.e. clouds and general greyness and an absence of any weather, even rain) made this impossible. It went a little darker but it was impossible to tell if this was just the unremitting Yorkshire gloom.
