I did a quick search to see if I could find the name that those baggy (non-cargo) shorts were called that the kids were all wearing when my kids were in elementary school. Back when the girls had to stop wearing shorts any shorter than 2 inches above their knees.

I didn't find the name, but I found a pseudo-intellectual article about pants and culture that I skimmed through out of curiousity to see where it was going. Follow through with this if you're curious, but it's off topic as far as what you call those blue denim pants you wear.

BAGGY-PANTS THUGGERY & HIP-HOP BURLESQUE:
CLOTHING AS SEXUAL POLITICS IN AMERICA

By Kevin Esser
Do gay guys wear tight pants so other guys can check out their butts?

It meandered, has few citations, never really stated sound conclusions, and offered lots of opinion that is posed as if it is scholarship (but it raises the hackles of someone who has been writing scholarly papers for many years now) and at the bottom I found a link to the "library" of articles for this group:

Ipce is a forum for people who are engaged in scholarly discussion about the understanding and emancipation of mutual relationships between children or adolescents and adults.

In this context, these relationships are intended to be viewed from an unbiased, non-judgmental perspective and in relation to the human rights of both the young and adult partners.

Ipce meets once every one or two years in a different country, publishes a newsletter and a web site, co-ordinates the (electronic) exchange of texts and keeps an archive of specific written publications.

The unstated but in-your-face subject here is sex between the young and adults, because in any other context there is no need for an "non-judgemental perspective" in such relationships. I can't find anyplace that spells out what "IPCE" is (or what it's acroynm means).

The article, that purports to be about the sexual politics of pants, is careless yet very calculated in its periodic conclusions and associations, and what is particularly creepy is the realization that it's a public face pedophiles are apparently placing on their activities in hope of acceptance. The word choices tell me that this writer is trying to coax public acceptance of this "scholarship" while using loaded terms and imagery all of the way through. I haven't explored the site extensively--if someone else cares to and wants to refute these brief conclusions, that's fine with me. But for the time being, yuck. . .

Who knew about those dungarees (as my ex from the east coast used to call them)? Careful how you shield your body from view in those baggy pants ("blue jeans" works for me)! (ha!)
