långbralla

English translation: trousers (UK), pants (US), slacks (mostly for women)

Swedish term or phrase: långbralla
Text is about clothing. I assume this is just a more colloquial way of saying "långbyxor" but just wanted to check that these are full-length trousers. Grateful for confirmation.

agree  asptech: A curious word, first of all it is incorrect, even if it is slang, should be "långbrallor" (always plural even in Swedish) and secondly I have not seen this word for over 50 years.
