Jeans And MP3s

99¢ too much to shell out for the Calexico tune you heard on Laguna last night? Well, if you're in the market for new dungarees* you're in luck. Clothing companies are giving away digital downloads, in some cases just for TRYING ON a pair of jeans.



*Always refer to jeans as "dungarees." MUCH funnier.

'Dungarees' def needs to be used more, as does 'slacks'. I do enjoy a nice pair of slacks.

If they're not a pair of old-assed Levi's 501 jeans, they need something to make their crappy products sell. They stopped making jeans worth $80 a pair in 1972.

What the hell does an mp3 of Brittany Murphy giving a horse a handjob even sound like?

Acid washed tight taper fit is where the action is at.

dungarees are different from jeans though. it would be like calling gloves mittens. and there's nothing funny about that.

Stone washed jeans w/ a stone washed sheepskin coat. Damn... I'm glad no one took a picture of me wearing that combo in 1986... had a Huey Lewis-ish mullet as well to top off the look.

I always thought dungarees was an antiquated term for jeans. Like what your grandma said. But I could be totally wrong. Or it could be an East Coast thing.

dungarees are to jeans/denim as trousers are to slacks/pants. i believe "the british" also refer to overalls as dungarees???

that'd be a great word to find out the etymology on.
