All of my scissors are sharper than my table knives.
I don't think we're buying the same kind of scissors.
Hmm. It's sounds like the finest party I can imagine getting paid to go to.

What is even happening?
you have hit on one of my favorite dislikes in fashion -- the word "pant"But who says it? People will say pant leg, but do some people seriously say pant? Oh, or wait--is it that the plural is your dislike?

Shit's all sorts of different now.
I have heard Clinton and Stacy on WNTW say, "This is a fabulous trouser" or "Look for a pant with a wider leg."

All of my scissors are sharper than my table knives.
I have a pair of fabric scissors that are very sharp, but most of my scissors get their cutting action from the leverage of blade-on-blade, rather than from the sharpness of the blades. So, more like Tragically Excessive Tongs than Knives Meet Cute.

Fine. Destroy my lovely rant. sniff. It's still true in the main.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Despite the fact today was the second day in a row I am out and about in something other than a winter coat (my "spring" raincoat).
My spring coat is my winter coat sans lining, gloves and hat (unless it's raining, in which case the hat stays). I haven't removed the lining yet, though I did wear it open and without gloves yesterday.
Due to a leak that is apparently causing the bathroom ceiling in the apt below to crumble, they are currently tearing out my bedroom wall to try to locate the problem.
Ack, brenda!

Cindy-
I see a lot of signs in say, The Limited, that say "Our New Blah-de-Blah Pant."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I don't think we're buying the same kind of scissors.
Or maybe not the same sort of table knives. Either way, after testing with the pair of craft scissors at my desk, it'd take less pressure to cut myself with one blade (don't forget the pointy tip) than it would with a table knife.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I want a black boot-cut Blah-de-Blah pant.

Those would look nice on you, too. I have them in sage.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
My table knives have serrated bits near the ends of them -- I can cut meat without needing a separate steak knife. As for scissors, the pair at my desk (actually, a good Fiskars pair, worthy of fabric-scissorhood), has a point only marginally more sharp than a pen and a blade that could cut me eventually, but doesn't draw blood on average pressure.
(For desk weapons, I much prefer the letter-opener, which is a tiny not-sharp-at-all sword.)
