Talk PANTS with Pantosaurus
March 16, 2018 3:25 AM   Subscribe

Meet Pantosaurus - [the] pant-wearing Dino! He wants every child to stay safe and strong, just like him, and he's on a mission to share an important message. (For Americans, this time we mean the pants under your pants. Although I think it still works with the over-pants too.)

The new face of the NSPCC Let's talk PANTS campaign.

Privates are private
Always remember your body belongs to you
No means no
Talk about secrets that upset you
Speak up, someone can help

This is a delight but it makes me uncomfortable that the little purplesaurus is running with a kazoo in her mouth. That seems unsafe.

Has this settled the question of how dinosaurs wear pants?

In my mind, this is being sung by Russell Brand and I am HERE FOR IT

The kazoo thing is part of a different story arc, clearly.

Animated by Aardman - directed by Lucy Izzard, song by Ashley Bates at Adelphoi Music

Watched it twice and it's an instant earworm

One leg at a time, of course!

I hope my children will follow the advice in this song, but I hope my wife won't.

I mainly put this up to see if someone else might know whether it was really weebl and bob, having moved on from teaching geography and biology to something even more important.

I can forsee some problems with doctor visits.

From now on, I will refer to my US-meaning pants as "overpants" to avoid confusion.

Linguistically that fits nicely with overalls over the top of that.
But on the top half you can have a vest, and overvest (shirt), but then how would you describe a jacket? Overovervest seems a little much.

I would like to propose jerkin, because it is one of my favourite clothes items, but I am not entirely sure what one is.

I've already been using "overpants" to refer to the outer rain pants I wear riding my bicycle to work.

"First overvest" and "second overvest" are perfectly acceptable, as is "topvest". If a relative term is required, "superovervest" is perfectly good, although it shouldn't be confused with the subundervest.

Trousers, people. Your overpants are trousers.

Sheesh.

Also, that song’s gonna be stuck in my head all day. I mean, if I’m lucky it will only be one day.

My wife is constantly amazed at how I basically wear a full set of clothes (t-shirt and boxer shorts) under my actual clothes.

"What's in your pants belongs to you" is a good message. Does anyone else wish this message could be presented to Hollywood movie execs and presidents... and well, all males?

1) What's in your pants belongs to you.
2) Nobody else needs to know what's in your pants.
3) ???
4) Profit!

"I can forsee some problems with doctor visits."

Website literally says, "Sometimes a doctor, nurse, or family members might have to [see or touch your private parts]. But they should always explain why, and ask you if it's OK first."

Which is what they teach kids in all body-safety curricula in the US, that your "bathing suit areas" are private and nobody should ask to see or touch them (or try to see or touch them), except for your doctor and caregiver, and they should ask permission first, and if your doctor or caregiver makes you uncomfortable you should tell another adult you trust.
