It means that he was &quot;caught&quot; in an unexpected situation. to be &quot;caught with your pants&quot; down means to be unprepared. It could be used in an ambush, for example: We caught the enemy with their pants down when we invaded their camp at night, or something like that. Does that make it any easier to understand?
