A man who chose "Lloyds is pants" as his telephone banking password said he found it had been changed by a member of staff to "no it's not".
Now, if anyone who'd know my passwords, what would they think... :eek:

I lol'd.

"pants" is the oddest British expression I've heard.

when they say something is pants (meaning Underpants), it means it sucks.

It's like when someone hacked our Dean's passwords for college...apparently his password was "password". Idiot.

True fact I leave caps lock on all day and just type holding down the shift button, even doing that I can do like one hundred wpm.

That's a bit unsettling...that someone from the staff could just go in and change the password just because they didn't like it. If I wanted to say "______sucks" as my password, then that is my business.

I'm sure that there are countless things we could use to fill in the blank.

But interesting use of the word pants.

"1234" isn't an insult.

Unless it's used in some sort of profane cheer by angry cheerleaders.

Except it was the air shield combination for Druidia, as well as the combination for Spaceball's President's luggage, and it two combos were both '12345'.

Sorry, you don't win the year's supply of Rice-A-Roni, or a copy of our home game.

Dark Helmet: 1,2,3,4,5? That sounds like the combination an idiot would use on his luggage!
President Scroob: So you have the combination?
Colonel Sanders: Yes, sir! 1,2,3,4,5!
Scroob: 1,2,3,4,5?
Sanders: Yes, sir!
Scroob: That's amazing, I have the same combination on my luggage!

Pants in American isn't a very good term either. After all pants are the only thing preventing an all out 24\7 gay orgy.
