It's at least a programming thing - in Unix, system calls return error numbers, and they're all given names by the "errno.h" file, all starting with E. So:
E2BIG EACCES EADDRNOTAVAIL EALREADY EBUSY ENOENT
Some of these are more or less readable than others. But ENOPANTS means, essentially, "Error - you, or your ideas, are lacking pants. Please remedy."
Would that be that your ants were emo or, perhaps more interestingly, that there was an error which meant htat you needed mo' pants. (Maybe yours are ripped or too short, or it's cold and you should put on a second pair.)
