What do you call sweat pants, or the bottom half of a sweat suit? Like jogging or workout clothes.

I normally call them joggies, but I don't know if that's a Scottish thing or it's said throughout the UK...I think they use it all over though, I checked online.

Hmm...well a Scottish thing would actually be most appropriate for Jonathon, really.

Oh, hey, since you're here, how's the next chapter of the smutty Nine/Rose fic coming along?

I don't have much written for it, I'm hoping to this weekend. I started college this week so I've too tired.

We call them trackie bottoms,or at least the more chav like do. In fact i've never heard them referred to as anything else. Hope that helps.

joggers is th only phrase not here I've heard, but trackie bottoms is most likely in the London area.

My UK cousins have always called them "trackies". Their kids who are in their teens just call them "tracks". (As in - "Nice tracks! Did you get those at Next?")

Great. Thanks!

My husband calls them track suit bottoms. Yes - the whole thing whenever he mentions it! (He does go on to joke about how Americans are much more efficient with the language!)

Yeah, I think we really are. *grins* Thanks.
