jeggings
 n.pl.— «The latest fashion buzz word doing the rounds is “jeggings.” Unfortunately, the idea of a buzz word precedes the item instantly giving them a bad name, but I don’t think you should let that put you off. Essentially they are denim leggings, which I am already a fan of. They’re a bit closer to trousers than denim leggings and would look great with a long top or very short dress.» —“Would You Wear Jeggings?” by FabSugarUK FabSugar UK (San Francisco, California) May 22, 2009.
