Eric: "I have no clean jeans, so I guess I'll have to wear these fancy pants..."
Me: "Fancy pants? Those are fancy pants? They're khakis."
Eric: "They're not khakis, they're navy blue."
Me: "Khaki isn't just the name of a color, it's also the name for that style of pant."
Eric: "No, khaki is the name of a color."
Me: "Today, civilian "khakis" come in all ranges of colors and the term refers more to the particular design or cut of the pants/trousers. In this context, "Khakis" have become popular as business casual pants/trousers, and includes other cuts and fabric types (such as chinos)."
Eric: "Are you reading from Wikipedia?"
Me: "Yes"
Eric: "Well, I'll be updating that later today...."
