In American English, pants are an outer layer of clothing for your legs, like jeans or slacks.
In British English, pants are an inner layer; specifically, it refers to underpants.
In American English, khaki is a brown color.
In British Englihs, khaki means shitty.

So apparently, GAP's "khaki pants" advertisement campaign was a real hoot in the UK.
