Jorts

[wicked]

I will be the first to admit that I’m not the most hip fellow around.

But really, why all the hate for jorts? I went out last night and was reminded, again, that apparently they’re uncool.

Sometimes I don’t feel like wearing short-shorts. Sometimes I don’t feel like wearing cargo shorts. So yeah, I go for the jorts. I don't see much else out there in that length of short, at least where I shop. (That's for another thread, I guess.)

For real, I don’t get the hatred. Now, get off my ******* lawn.

 

[Point of Order]

This made me laugh out loud.

Is this really the hill you want to die on?

You should move to Gainesville. You'll fit right in.

 

[Care Bear]

What are short-shorts?

 

[Dyno]

They don't make khaki shorts or non short-shorts (yeah, what are those?) where you live?

Are your jorts acid-washed and/or pleated?

 

[bumpy mcgee]

I don't know what they are, but here's someone who wears them:

 

[Care Bear]

I can't picture jorts without conjuring up images of gold chains, tank tops, Avalanche trucks and feathered hair.
And Dyno's right - invest in khakis. Can't go wrong.

You don't have to answer this if you don't want to, but I'd be interested to know how, exactly, did the hate manifest itself?

 

[Care Bear]

But that's the thing. I don't think George Clooney could "own" jorts. It's just not possible.

Many things feel pleasant to wear. Options are a good thing. If we all wore what we wanted to, Wicked might show up at work in a denim tutu. We have to draw the line somewhere.

Why can't I wear my ****ing banana hammock to cover a ******* high school baseball game? Why is this so socially unacceptable? WHYYYYYYYY?

 

[wicked]

It'd be a denim Snuggie, Care Bear, get it right dammit.

 

[Cosmo]

Denim snuggie with a fleece lining. I could do that ****.

The world turned on jorts pretty quickly. As recently as 2008 or 2009 they still seemed acceptable. Cool even. Now? You might as well where a thong with a smiley face on the crotch.

I've got to disagree. I remember people being made fun for wearing them back in the early 90s.

 

[YGBFKM]

Even I wouldn't wear jorts.

Hahahaha!!! Cool in 2009, my ass!!

Still waiting for an explanation on short-shorts...

 

[expendable]

Can I at least mow the lawn in them?

At night.
