[Ads-l] "Drop"

[Bill Mullins]

> OED also mentions, from 1987, 'drop science', in the sense of "imparting
> wisdom or knowledge". But nowhere the slangy 'drop trow' (although 'drop
> trousers' does make its own unsavory appearance).

I don't see "drop trou/trow" in the same sense, in that pants are literally dropped in this case.
