David,
Do I understand correctly that this began as code phrases in prisons?
A fashion (??) that is very popular in the U.S now began in
prisons: boys/men wearing shorts/jeans several sizes too large, so that they are in real danger of falling. My law
enforcement husband says this was a way that inmates would
signify that they were accepting of "sexual favors". Ick.
