No they mean a certain type of shorts that end above the knees. Not the shorts that are basically three quarters pants. The shorter they were the gayer you’d be.
Yeah now it’s not. But in the late 90’s and early 2000’s it was considered that in many places where baggy shorts was the norm. Like you said it’s rich boy yacht clothing. But if you weren’t a rich preppy boy and you walked around like that in rural areas or in the inner cities people would think you ain’t straight. Good for you that the circle of people you’ve been in weren’t super homophobic.
Ohh, I distinctly remember that showing your knees was gay. But not as gay as bending over to pick up a pencil without bending your knees for it. It meant you wanted it up the ass then and there, there was no other conceivable reason.
The not gay ones are hella comfortable looking. Not sure about the gay ones, I’ve never really been into that type, I prefer my shorts really loose and the pockets big enough to hold 2 liter bottles

Gay:
Not gay:
That’s not “gay”. Not in any circle of people I’ve ever been in. That’s rich boy yacht clothing. Especially if they are salmon colored shorts.

Haha I learned the habit of properly lifting and not breaking your back this way. Looks like school taught me something practical after all.
Best part is that the “not gay” shorts look like a skirt. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

Oh, for sure. Skirts are also really comfy. Just thought it was funny given the context.
unless you’re wearing running shorts in which case the length of the shorts is inversely related to how good/fast of a runner you are.
I appreciate your period-appropriate example with TJ Ford.
Thank god I grew up in Europe. I would’ve been gay as fuck in America.
European or Gay?
