So, I've gotten in an argument with a user on if pant sleeve is an actual thing. The user completely disagreed with me that pants sleeve is a thing and that people actually say it.

I'm not asking if it's the correct term. I'm asking if you think people actually say it. I believe people do say it.

Lots of people in my family have said it, my friends, and even @StormWalker typed it on a chapter of AG High, which is the reason this whole argument started.

Most of the time, I refer to any parts of pants as just &quotants", but when specification requires it, I use both pant sleeve and pant leg. Because its a leg of your pants, and a sleeve that you put your leg into. Would it be better if I'd typed "Leg Sleeve" and confused the heck out of everyone?
And besides, if other people use it, of course it's a thing. Even if nobody says anything about it in some regions, it's still a thing that's done.
Pants doesn't sound like a word anymore.

But Storm gave a good explanation that it is still a thing that is done.

Also like four people doesn't really make a difference as many people do say it.

If I was American, I'd say pant leg. But it's a trouser leg to me. Definitely leg though.

Pant leg... Sleeve is for arm, which is odd. But I have heard people say pants sleeves... so I guess you CAN use it if you want to...
