Having read this version more thoroughly, I don't think it's the same 
definition that I heard before (this would have been at least 10 years 
ago, maybe longer). Interesting, especially since the one you describe 
is obviously now canon (it's even in Wikipedia).



StarWars quotes that sound better after replacing a single word with 
'pants', no 12:
"Governor Tarkin. I recognized your foul pants when I first came on board."

(probably works better for the UK definition of 'pants')
