I agree with this. I shall use this myself next time, before proceeding with slacks outfitting.

"Hmmm, but am I James Bond?..."

(ALSO. This could cover trousers too, I believe)

Oh, no -- I think trousers are grand. Some of my favorite people have worn trousers.

I'm not sure what the line is between slacks and trousers. Maybe the shininess factor...

Which one is shiny?? Now I feel as though I've been living an uncultured life. WHICH IS WHICH??

(My scottish friend calls all his pants trousers. It used to be funny when he'd wake us up in the morning, whisper-yelling "Where are my trousers?! Are you sleeping on my trousers?!" and we'd all be like "...GOD NO. WE ARE NOT. Fuckin' Scottish moron. THEY ARE JEAN SHORTS!")

I can't tell if I'm being congenially mocked, or just plain mocked. :)

Pfft, I'm not even joking! I didn't even think of a difference between slacks and trousers. Perhaps there is and I...didn't know! Embarrassing!

I'm not joking about my friend either. He was a funny scottish man.

I don't think there's any appreciable difference. :) I think it's like sports coat vs. suit jacket. Slacks are more casual, trousers less so.

I don't know. It's something I observe. Men always seem to look really uncomfortable wearing slacks. Like, they all know, deep down, that they aren't man enough to be wearing them.

*hands up for NZ*

Same here. I mean, that pants are trousers, trousers are pants.
What sort of trousers are 'trousers' there?

(and lo, another word that looks weird after more than three repititions...)
