In German you've got "tote hose," or "dead pants" which means that nothing is going on, IIRC. It's where Die Toten Hosen got their name.

And no discussion of pants would be complete without mention of Fred Schneider's classic, "Monster in my Pants."
Sorry I can't find the actual song, but once you hear it, it will never leave your head.

I don't know where its from - if anywhere - but in high school, I used to enjoy walking up to a group of people, chuckling to myself, and state, "well, needless to say, pants everywhere!" and laugh heartily.

Speaking of Fred Schneider, we must not forget "Hot Pants Explosion". Best if you read the lyrics out loud to yourself in a snooty Masterpiece Theatre voice.
*Ahem*:
"You know what I say to your hot pants?

Say get on down, ah ha ha!!
I'm in shippin', if you're receivin'

The longest legs in the shortest pants
You got me doin' a matin' dance
Pant pant
You got me pantin' like a dog
Pant pant
Ooo I'm a hot pants hot dog!
You burned a hole in my mind
When I saw your cute behind
Wearin' those hot pants
Hot hot hot hot pants, hot pants
Sizzlin' hot hot pants
Hot hot hot hot pants, hot pants
Sap's up spring's on the rise
I'm bustin' out my tube top tonight
Workin' the night shift, I get off at three
Breakin' out of that factory
Thunder thighs-hangn' out!
Moon beams, dancin' about
If you would be so kind,
Put on those red hot pants and take a stroll through my mind
Hot pants, hot hot hot pants, hot pants
Sizzlin' hot hot pants
Hot hot hot hot pants, hot pants
Hot pants explosion
At the factory
Baby it's so sweet how you got me chokin'
Chokin' on the sizzle you deliver in that outfit so smokin'
Hot pants flare up
Ooo scintillatin' sizzlin' steamin'
Honey those hot pants got me screamin'
Supercalifragiwhata outfit you got on
Super vixen ooo foxy
Studball hunky baby rock me
Supercalihalitosis ooo that outfit's the absolute mostest!

Wait'll they see what you've got on
Yeah, I never saw nothn' so dggone hot
You belong in Ripley's Believe It Or Not
Here aa hot, there a hot
Hot pants on a cute little butt yeah

Marchin' down the railroad tracks in hot pants
Hot pants stretchin' tight
Yeah hot pants clingin' right
Hot pants, they're gettin' so hot

Not a phrase, but an awesome Dr. Seuss story, "What was I Scared of?"
An excerpt:
Well...
I was walking in the night and I saw nothing scary.
For I have never been afraid of anything. Not very.
Then I was deep within the woods when, suddenly, I spied them.
I saw a pair of pale green pants with nobody inside them!
I wasn't scared. But, yet, I stopped. What could those pants be there for?
What could a pair of pants at night be standing in the air for?
