the origens of guys wearing their pants sagging low.

We were talking about how the kids are wearing the pants way down on their body with the crotch at their knees. One guy said he was told that this started in prison with the gay prisoner doing that to show that they are ready for a sexual relationship with whoever is interested.

A friend told me recently that the "gang" style of baggy pants showing your underwear (called "jailin") was originally a prison code signifying that the man wearing them was willing to be, er, the "girlfriend" of some other man/men.

I had heard that...but forgot about it. If it is true I bet a lot less guys would walk around with their @$$ hanging out like that...they might protect it a bit more.
