    Wait, shorts were gay? Does that include cargo shorts? Cuz there were a lot of cargo shorts at the time.

    Source: used to wear cargo shorts back then. I still do, but I used to too.

      I think it depended on if your shorts were above or below the knee. Cargo shorts, I want to say, are okay. I want to say that because I used to wear cargo shorts.

        Well the term originated in Britain where they weren’t that popular at the time, and like the post says it was only if you wore short too much.
