Pants You Can’t Wear In Lab (and an aside)

• capris
• shorts
• leggings or yoga pants
• heavily destroyed denim
• babuchas
• assless chaps

 

And the aside:
Why do we call them assless chaps?  All chaps are, in fact, assless.  It is, as they say, ‘repetitive and redundant’.  Like saying assless assless pants.  You might imagine a world in which the double negative confers upon the pants an ass.  But this isn’t such a world.  I move to eliminate the adjective ‘assless’ from application to the noun ‘chaps’.  Who’s with me?
