Hpot wearing your trousers like that is an American thing known as sagging your pants (i'm not joking either :rotfl:) next time you see someone with their pants sagged, show them your dab. They'll love you for it

I just googled sagging your pants. Not sure if it's an urban myth but apparently the trend started in U.S. jails



So many young blokes are doing it now. And it's not just the pants you see, they're flashing their bums, too!

I thought it was necessitated by some kind of genetic mutation.

- obsessively playing computer games to the point of being anti-social
- bad with money (I mean not living within their means, not that they have to be rich)

If I'm allowed one shamelessly shallow dislike, it's jeans with white trainers.

I actually like it when a man has a geeky hobby that others may consider boring or uncool; it shows they've got a passion for something. One of my friends has a husband whose only hobby is getting really drunk with workmates and then telling you how drunk he got. I'd personally rather go out with a trainspotter.

It's supposed to be that in US jails the inmates were not allowed belts so their trousers slipped down. A bit like an ASBO is alleged to be a badge of honour, on release some prisoners continued without a belt to show they had been 'inside'. Quite why anyone would want to flaunt that is beyond me!

Steady on! Many of the trainspotters I know are perfectly decent souls who just happen to struggle with starting conversations. As a chatty female of the species, I've found them good company once the shock wears off...

sorry to hijack the thread;
baggy ars.e clothes started with the acid house scene in the uk.
people need to feel less constricted with tight clothes.
People also wore baggy clothing to combat the heat inside of the clubs
then the hip hop scene copied it.

I've just realised something that's a massive "turn-off" for me.

I simply could not function in a "joined at the hip" relationship! It would drive me mad. I like my independence, but know when to exercise it, and when to be with my husband.

I do occasionally have input on clothing (and car) purchases, but only as to colour, as he is colourblind. (Almost selected a PINK Honda Civic 2.2 Turbodiesel on one occasion when he thought he was selecting light blue.)

Men who think women exist just to be visually appealing to them. As an example blokes at work talking about a woman who came for a job interview as a '7 pinter'. She's there as a professional not to get a date, find it disgusting that they assume women exist just to please them. The guys saying it not exactly dreamboats themselves!

The explanation I found on google was a bit more explicit!!

A signal that would go unnoticed by the guards?

I would have thought that, even to the most dopey of guards, walking around with your ärse hanging out the back of your trousers would be noticed.

Maybe I should test my theory here at work.
