It also was easier for their masters to pull their pants down for a quickie This is an urban legend. It does come from prison though - men entering prison were given ill fitting clothes, and were disallowed belts to prevent them hanging themselves.

Phanerothyme Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 This is an urban legend.

Banksy elucidates it thus: "Wearing your jeans two sizes too big so they hang low off your ass was invented in Los Angeles. Apparently kids in the hood wear clothes handed down by their brothers so the bigger the trousers, the bigger your brothers. This makes sense until you dress this way to go painting in a fountain. Then if your oversized jeans get damp and you haven´t got a belt they tend to fall down halfway through the piece. I doesn´t matter how big your brothers are when drunk geezers walk past you waiting for the last bus and it looks like you just p****d all over yourself" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does amuse me how often I hear the prison bitch explanation - and the way people tell it as if it's unquestionable fact! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My explanation is anyone who wears their trousers like this is doing it to annoy me, and therefore not worth bothering with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magnese Posted May 16, 2012 Author Share Posted May 16, 2012 Adding VAT to the duty on fuel should be illegal. It is compounding interest by taxing tax. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
