Euripides trousers, Umendades trousors.


Eumenides trousers?


Umendades trousors.


Essplain? Am lost.


Say it out loud - it's a play on words. "You rip a dese trousers, you mend a dese trousers"


'Tis true, but it's also true that Eumenides is an actual Greek deity (and The Eumenides is a play) that sounds the same (at least when pronounced by this monolingual English speaker.)

So I feel "Eumenides trousers!" is a slightly better variant of the joke.


Yeah, I thought that was a direction too. Slightly over thinking it.
