Pronounced slow-vz. Rhymes with "groves".
The part of a pair of pants that covers the leg. It is the logical and long-overdue equivalent to a shirt's "sleeves".
For centuries, humanity has awkwardly referred to them as "pant legs", but now there is a single, elegant word. The logic is simple: arms go in sleeves, legs go in sloves.

Example 1:
I love these new jeans, but the sloves are a little too long, so I have to cuff them.
Example 2:
I was walking through the woods and a branch tore a huge hole in my left slove.
Example 3:
Person A: "What do you call the leg parts of pants?"
Person B: "Sloves. You know, arms have sleeves, legs have sloves."
Example 4:
Ugh, I just spilled coffee all down the front of my sloves five minutes before my job interview.
