This might be a double definition.

'chum's' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'pants' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't see how they can define each other.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for tosh that I've seen before include "moonshine" , "Slang nonsense" , "[BLAH]" , "Baloney, twaddle" , "Nonsense; shot (anag.)" .)
