- by the seat of (one's) pants
by the seat of (one's) pants
by the seat of (one's) pants
Without a clear plan or direction. Often used in the phrase "fly by the seat of (one's) pants." I know my parents think that I'm just flying by the seat of my pants ever since I dropped out of college, but I just signed with a record label and am launching my singing career!
