Sharp trouser line

A crease is a line or ridge formed by folding or pressing: the crease in his trousers, She ironed out the creases.

A crease can also be a wrinkle in skin, especially from age or expression.

In cricket and hockey, the crease is a marked area with special rules.

To crease someone (British slang) is to make them laugh hard: That joke creased me.
