    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.

    Gay:

    Not gay:

      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.

        Haha I learned the habit of properly lifting and not breaking your back this way. Looks like school taught me something practical after all.

      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.

        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
