FIL: Isang uri ng kasuotan na isinusuot sa ibabang bahagi ng katawan, karaniwang hanggang hita o tuhod lamang ang haba.
EN: shorts
Before there was "shorts" or "pajama bottoms," there was kalson. It's what your lolo wears around the house on a hot Sunday afternoon, usually paired with a sando. Think of comfy, breezy, no-fuss shorts. Today, we'd call them "pambahay." It's the official uniform for doing nothing at home.
From Spanish `calzón` (breeches, trousers).
The term is a bit dated and often refers to loose-fitting shorts, especially those worn at home. "Shorts" is more common in modern conversation.
