Breekless is a Scots dialect adjective meaning not wearing breeks — trouserless or breeches-less, lacking lower-body clothing. 'Breeks' is the Scots word for trousers or breeches. The term is informal and regional, occasionally used to describe someone in a state of undress or as a comic image of someone caught in an undignified situation without their trousers. Archaic in everyday contemporary Scots but survives in dialect literature and as part of the Scots vernacular.
