The origin of the idiom "bore the pants off someone" is not definitively known, but it likely emerged in the early to mid-20th century. The phrase uses the verb "bore" to describe the act of causing extreme boredom or disinterest in someone, while the addition of "the pants off" intensifies the expression.
