No more jeans.

[Lars]

It seems that nobody is wearing jeans anymore. Everybodys wearing "denim" now.

"oh, I have to wait to wash my denim", "my mom washed my denim", "where is my denim?", "that's a nice pair of denim you are wearing" etc..

too much free time today.. sorry.

well maybe they're talking about their denim jackets or their denim shirts or their denim sneakers or their denim jocks

"Jeans" sound so american. "Denim" on the other hand originates from the french city Nimes - > De Nimes -> Denim

[Louche]

Everything sounds better than dungarees, though...

^ your derivation of denim is debatable, actually.

and:

jeans also comes from a place name, this time from Italy, Genoa in particular. It comes from the French phrase jean fustian, meaning a type of twilled, cotton cloth. The OED2's earliest cite is from 1495. The modern spelling has existed since at least 1622. Jean in this phrase is a more modern spelling of Jannes, the Old French word for Genoa. Fustian is from the Medieval Latin fustaneum, literally cotton cloth. So jean fustian is cotton cloth from Genoa.
