Or is there a different phrase for it? You know, when they have a hole in them, and it goes... "running".

Oh, and if i have on a PAIR (of pantyhose), is it "the pair WAS running" or "...WERE running"?

I'd say "her pantyhose had a run" or "were snagged". Using the word running implies that you're observing the run happen or grow larger.

Not that I care too much about pageants, but I think the question was inappropriate. I completely disagree with her opinion, but lets face it, the woman was screwed no matter how she answered. If she had said she was cool with gay marriage, she would have been eaten alive by the above talk show hosts and more. And she would have been praised by others, and we would see some Christians and fundies on here saying how dumb, or hypocritical she is, for being Christian and "not following God's word". That said I don't feel super sorry for her either. If you are a celebrity of any kind, and you make a strong opinion like that known, you have to be prepared to take the heat. But part of me thinks she sort of got caught between a rock and a hard spot. Had she not been asked the question in the pageant, she may have never made her opinion known. Now she's been forced to defend it.

I don't think "run" is used as a verb in this case. I believe it's a noun - "she has a run in her pantyhose".
Egad, though, imagine if someone said "her panyhose have the runs." Yikes.

possibly, but "there is a run in her pantyhose" is probably more appropriate,,, it is easy to see , she has better gams also,
"her pantyhose have a run, or a tear" is probably acceptable
how about, "she should disgard her pantyhose,because they have seen their better days" or "those pantyhose have made their final run" see ya, maybe yeah, i hope, with a new pair of pantyhose, huh, duh, did i say that

it sounds a little odd haha.
i would say "her pantyhose had a run in them"
but it works either way i guess.

haha. yes you can say that. usually 'a run' it's a noun, not a verb.
