Overuse of “Trousered” with Lawyers!
It seems these days, that you can’t read a report about the law without seeing the word trousered linked to their fees. The latest is this report on the Cambridge Busway. Here’s what they said.
But the cost of the project, which is already two years late, does not include the millions of pounds expected to be trousered by lawyers as the disputed cost-overrun moves to the High Court of Justice, in The Strand.
Sad to say though, the lawyers will be the real winners in this badly designed and managed project.
The Anonymous Widower 
P.G.Wodehouse often used the verb to trouser (eg: “I shoved the parcel into a drawer, locked it, trousered the key, and felt better” from Jeeves Takes charge published in 1916).
