I don;t get it, and i guess i never will, how having your damn pants around your ankles can be considered anything but rediculous. I'd love to watch a video of guys like that trying to walk tho. Or even better, run.

My dad's a cop and he says it makes it easier to chase them. almost always they trip and fall down.

I remember how to spell it by saying "ridicule", its base word.

Perhaps he/she was emphasizing the first syllable by spelling it that way?

A dash would have made it clearer.

RE-diculous

[–]ofsinope 0 points1 point ago

No, if he was going for emphasis he'd have just said redonkulous. Or recockulous.

They hold the waistband up with one hand. It's actually evolved into a style of swagger in and of itself.

I think it looks retarded.

I'm guessing that running away from things isn't a very accepted activity in a culture based around agression. In practice, yeah, cops are going to catch you more easily. But I'm sure the threat from other people is a lot more menacing, so appearance wins out. And that is the style.

Bitches love guys who don't know how to wear pants.

My grandfather swears he is the reason only one of two robbers got caught in a theft. When he was at the store, he saw two black men with their pants around their ankles. He asked them why they do it and they replied because it's their style. His response to that was to tell them it's easier to run from the police while wearing a belt. The very next day on the news, there was a story about a gas station robbery. Two robbers, one was caught. The reason one guy was caught? He tripped when his pants fell down while trying to run away.

It's from hand-me-downs. Boys with big brothers in poor communities will inevitably wear their older brothers old clothes. The bigger your pants, the bigger your brother. Big Jeans = don't fuck with me

Think how easy it would be for them to pee tho! They wouldn't even have to pull down their pants!

[–]snatchenvy 0 points1 point ago

I was using the stall bathroom at work, and when I opened the door the urinals are directly in front of you. There was a guy using the urinal and his pants were down around his knees. Instantly I thought of Butters. Then I realized that it was a "pants handed down to me by my bigger brother" guy. It would be much easier and less stupid looking if you pulled your pants up to take a piss.

[–]steinarvb 5 points6 points ago

Why do they even bother wearing pants?

[–]scottklarr 13 points14 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Because not wearing pants would be all uncivilized 'n shit.

They won't be running anything or anywhere with their jeans around their ankles.

This is why I, unlike most of the people at my high school, do not have aspirations of joining a gang, and wear a belt and try at my grades so I can be like those guys at the bottom.

I watched an idiot with his pants around his ankles get hit by a car because of it.

Was pretty epic, he tried to jump out of the way, since his pants situtation wouldn't allow him to run, but failed. BAM!

I pride myself in being young and hip even though I'm an old woman in years.
I don't get this, and it bugs me that I don't get it. I did't understand harem pants either, but at least they were comfortable. This doesn't even look comfortable.
If someone could explain to me why this fad is a fad I'd appreciate it.
