Low pants

[Vroom_C14]

Can someone explain the reason for wearing pants below your ass, showing ass and underwear, and having to hang onto said pants so they don't fall off?

At Caseys in IC tonight and 3 guys shuffling around the store, hoodies up and underwear showing. I just don't get it. Iowa City (better yet Iowa) needs to pass a law against this like some southern cities have.

Look like idiots that just shat their pants and are trying to keep it from going down their leg.

It's a thug thing; you wouldn't understand.

It means they are bottoms advertising the product. Next time ask them how many smokes they want for a poke. Times are tough out there.

Still can't figure this out, buy the police love it.

Dayum. Last time I tried to pop that many collars I blacked out and woke up in a hospital.

Here is a salute to all the hard-working plumbers in our
nation. As they bend down to fix the kitchen sink, we
see their butt crack. This s part of Americana and it
will not go away.

Dude has to take some pretty small steps I bet. It seems like more trouble than it's worth.

I can't figure out if it's more annoying or more amusing when whites do it.

God I hate white people.

I vote annoying, too many flat butt white guys.

Same reason guys wear their caps backward -- pure, unadulterated moronity.

 

[Hawkeyenuts66]

Because they're idiots; it comes from upbringing. Their parents were idiots too. My son tried this, he had to get new drawers after I grabbed the waist band and pulled them up so high it ripped the waist band right off. Never tried it again.

Same reason that people wore Bell bottom pants and vests with fringe, or elephant leg disco pants with platform shoes, or puplish leisure suits with rayon floral shirts, or white linen suits, or acid wash denim, or stock brokers decked out in Harley Davidson gear when they ride....all the cool kids do it.

There was a case in Robins a few years ago who got tripped up by them while running away from committing a robbery.
Idiots.

I think it's like a golf handicap to make it "fair" when running away from fat cops.

 

[HawkOptimist]

The style originated in prisons many many years ago. If a prisoner was open to a little oil drillin' (NTTAWWT), he'd wear his pants below the cheeks as his way of saying "Open for Business".

I'm sure you're well-versed on prison sexual cues.

You sure about this? I am too lazy too Google the answer, but from memory I thought it was some twisted homage to incarcerated homies because they don't issue belts in prison and pants tend to sag?

Seems aggressive for a first post. Ease into HROT, fella.

That's the story I heard.

I see no problem

Except that encourages fatties to do the same and then you get "whale tail" (no pics).

You can find these on youtube where the "perp" is trying to get away and just loses it because of his damn pants. I find it amusing.

None of those were worn below the ass and showed off the fruit in the looms!

I thought to myself, never see Michael Jordan, Tiger Woods, Obama, RGIII, Richard Sherman, Kobe Bryant, etc wear clothes this way.

And people wonder why people are treated or "profiled" in a certain way...

 

[Vroom_C14]

nat - you wear saggy bottoms too?

No, but I do appreciate some that do.

I drive past Broadway, but I'd never stop there. Like a woman who wears a short skirt to a bar you were asking for it.

Yep. Won't be stopping there ever again.

Now you are just grand-standing.

I saw a couple of fellows a week or two ago, a pair of black teenagers sporting this look. It was cold out side, maybe in the low 20's. These two were making their way down the street and both had pants riding below their a$$es. One on the left had white briefs on. They could have used a wash (IMO). Had to have been pretty cold up in there. It has to be more trouble than its worth. How can they possible run at top speed if chased or if they have to run down their hos? I mean, isn't that it? To suggest a gangster or thug persona? Or is this simply a fashion statement that says 'I like to air-out my a$$ and ball sac"?

I interpret it as a fashion that says my ass can be had. It's a position that sits fun in my mind, as I suspect most would be offended to be thought of as bottoms. I have no idea what the fashion says in their minds.

 

[Run&Blade]

Saw a low pants dirty ball looking dude at a Jimmy Johns last spring with a semi automatic pistol shoved between his underwear and ass.

I am sure it probably was all nice and legal but we got the hell out of there.

I bet they didn't screw up his order.

Do you wear pants in this fashion? I have to admit I didn't consider it as a sexual thing.
