    For practicality purposes I guess, but it just looks so gay.

    Or maybe it's so you can make your local tailor think that you have really long legs.

    The only thing worse are clam-diggers (when someone’s trousers are too short) [​IMG]

    I'll do that if I'm stuck walking in mud, or if I've walked through poision ivy I carefully roll up the bottoms of my trousers. I might also do it if my pants are touching the front sprocket when I'm riding my bike.
    Where did you find that photo of me anyway?

    Trousers is a funny word. Pants are underwear in the UK, aren't they?

    Yup, when I woke up I was 6'5"!

    I know for a fact I was allot smaller at some point in the past.

    I've heard from some folks it was a method used to denote the "Catchers" in Prison.

    Good question. That craze has been going on for so many years that it's gotten to the point where one generation is handing down the tradition to the next.

    Maybe it has to do with some desire to show off aweful bjorn borg underwear.

    Yeah, though I hear more people say underwear or boxers than pants. It's a really American word :p

    I have turned my trousers up before, because I couldn't hear what they were saying

    turns out they called me gay, oh, the irony.
