| As a haberdashery term, the origin of "seat of the pants" is obvious. Flying "by the seat of one's pants" dates from the Army Air Force of World War II. It means operating an aircraft (and hence any very complicated affair) by instinct and feeling rather than by instruments or other assistance. |
