What does the word britches mean?

"Britches" is an older, less common word for trousers or pants. It's often used in a humorous or informal way, and sometimes has a slightly old-fashioned or rural connotation.

Here are some examples of how it can be used:

* "He was wearing a pair of brown britches and a plaid shirt."

* "Back in my day, we wore britches, not these fancy pants!"

* "The cowboys rode their horses in their leather britches."

While "britches" isn't used as often as "trousers" or "pants" in modern English, it's still understood by most native speakers.
